Farming returns to Avondale Estate
07 November 2007
Farming is returning to the Avondale Estate after two members of the community signed licence agreements with Avondale College.
Property manager and former dairy farmer Bob Doyle is grazing a small number of heifers in the pasture on the left-hand side of Central Road as you enter the college and in the pasture behind the cafeteria and swimming pool.
Kelverne Johnson, formerly of Sanitarium Development and Innovation, is growing vegetables and making hay in the pastures on the right-hand side of the road. He plans to sell the vegetables from a shop on the former dairy site.
Both Doyle and Johnson have signed two-year agreements.
