Our story
We believe every family deserves a farm.
Micro Farms Australia was born from a simple observation: millions of Australians dream of the country life but can't afford acreage. The land isn't the barrier — the knowledge and access is. We exist to bridge that gap.

How it started
The story behind the farm.
Trent Williams didn't grow up on a farm. He grew up on the Gold Coast, in the kind of small suburban yard most Australians know well — a patch of lawn, a Hills hoist, not much room to dream bigger.
In 2020, Trent and his wife Linda made the move out to Jimboomba, chasing more space and a different pace of life. What started as a bit of extra room quickly became something more. They began raising animals, growing their own food, and living something close to the country life Trent had never had growing up. Fresh eggs each morning. A garden that actually fed the family. A different kind of quiet.
It didn't take long for Trent to realise something: this life shouldn't be reserved for people who already had acreage. The peace, the self-sufficiency, the connection to real food — most Australian families want that. They just don't think it's possible in a normal suburban backyard.
“You don't need to move to the country. We can bring the country to you.” — Trent Williams
Micro Farms Australia was built to prove it's possible. You don't need Jimboomba. You don't need a quarter acre (though it helps, for the mini cows). You need someone who's actually lived it, and knows how to bring it home to yours.
What we stand for
Our values.
Natural Living
We believe humans thrive when connected to the natural cycles of growing, harvesting, and nurturing. Micro farming restores that connection in everyday suburban life.
Self-Sufficiency
There is something deeply satisfying about feeding your family food you grew yourself. We help families take meaningful steps toward real self-sufficiency.
Community
A backyard micro farm has a way of bringing neighbourhoods together. Extra eggs shared over the fence. Honey jars at Christmas. Gardens that spark conversation.
Animal Welfare
Every animal we place is hand-selected for temperament and health. We prioritise the wellbeing of our animals above all else — they deserve a loving, appropriate home.
