Gunagulla

6l ha nestled in the hills of Loomberah, Gunagulla was established in 1991 by local astronomer Gordon Garradd.
Gordon and Hether are passionate about their natural resources, chooks, cherries and now their aquaponics systems that provide both fresh rainbow trout and fruit and vegetables in an enclosed system using solely rainwater.

Picture
Since 1991 Gordon Garradd has been living off-grid on mostly renewable energy. A pioneer for the area he could see that connecting to the grid was a waste of resources and set about researching and keeping up to date with the latest in solar, wind and off-grid systems.
Throughout the nineties Gordon set about planting trees. As many as he could get his hands on. The rule was natives (especially local varieties) or useful. His favourite fruit, cherries, taking centre stage, with three randomly planted orchards scattered with apples, pears, apricots, plums, macadamias, almonds, figs, mulberries, wattleseed, grapes, berries, pistachios and pine nuts.

Seasonal trout recipes

What do you do when you have a glut of something in the garden?
Well, you just get creative!
Whoever thought that fruity trout could be a thing.
Everyone knows that I am a hopeless cook, but I have always been experimental. This is just the start of a year round project with plums, blackberries and wattleseed coming on soon, just to name a few. These are some of our favourites:
Pistachio lime trout
Cherry garlic trout
Fig and avocado trout
Apricot garlic trout
Mango red onion trout

Produce

Since Gunagulla began in 1991, no synthetic chemicals have been used in the production of any of our produce. The only non-organic product that we have had to use is the fish food, as there are no commercially available organic fish foods available yet in Australia. When we have a glut of anything that's in season,
we offer it for sale at Tamworth Growers' Market.
