Woodstock: What a 10-Acre Youth Training Farm Actually Looks Like

Woodstock: What a 10-Acre Youth Training Farm Actually Looks Like

Sep 01, 2026Nick Steiner

Woodstock is not a concept or a future plan on a slide — it's a real 10-acre property at the Youth Enterprises Trust in Logan, and it's the next farm we're building.

 

Like every Mini Farm Project site, Woodstock will run on regenerative and permaculture practice, growing fresh food while it also trains disengaged young people and school leavers through Certificate II in Horticulture and other courses.

 

A well-run acre under this model can produce up to 50,000 meals a year, which means a 10-acre farm at full production isn't a modest local project — it's a genuine, ongoing food-relief operation supplying charity partners and community organisations across South East Queensland.

 

Woodstock will also run with our standard staffing model: a full-time Farm Manager and Farmer, supported by at least two casual farm hands, seven days a week, because food and animals don't take weekends off. Workshops, events and community programs run alongside the production side — this is a working farm and a training ground at the same time, not two separate things sharing a fence line.

 

None of it happens without funding the first section, which is exactly what our 20,000 to Grow campaign is for: 20,000 products sold between September and Christmas Eve, at $10 a unit, funds the ground being broken. Every bottle, bag, coffee and candle sold between now and then is a literal, countable piece of Woodstock becoming real.
