Mungalli Creek Dairy

A century ago, Mungalli Creek was thick rainforest. Today it's one of Australia's pioneering biodynamic dairies, run by brothers Rob and Dan Watson out of the farmhouse they grew up in, with Mt Bartle Frere rising behind it.

They've farmed biodynamically for more than 30 years. That means no artificial fertilisers, no pesticides, no antibiotics and no growth hormones. It also means treating the farm as one living system. Soil first, then pasture, then the cows.

About 30% of the farm has been handed back to the forest, with new rainforest plantings and wetlands. Cassowaries, platypus and wallabies share the place with the herd. The Watsons also pay their farmers more for their milk.

You can taste the difference. Their milk is never homogenised, so the cream rises to the top the way it used to. Give the bottle a shake, or don't, and claim the good bit for yourself.
