The Longley Organic Farm Story

Motivated by a great appreciation for the natural environment. Conserving and rebuilding diversity in natural ecosystems has always been close to the heart.  

James is a farmer, entrepreneur and innovator. He has worked on a range progressive social/environmental change and business initiatives across Australia before moving to Tasmania.
