Welcome

Yintarini Farm envisages a world where the health and wellbeing of both people and the planet flourish.

We are grateful for the opportunity to create a lifestyle that is slower, simpler, happier, more self-sufficient, and kinder to the planet, as a demonstration to others of what might be possible, living in these times of change.

We hope you will join us on this journey.

About

Yintarini Farm is located at Seaspray in Victoria and sits on Gunaikurnai country, specifically home to the Tatungalung clan. 

We would like to acknowledge the 60,000+ year history and ongoing connection Gunaikurnai people have to this place in their role of custodians of the land.

We feel privileged to be sharing the care of this special part of the world, yet it was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Mission

Our mission is guided by the principles of permaculture – People Care, Earth Care and Fair Share.  

People Care

Yintarini is the home base for …Metaphorically Speaking…, a counselling and eco-therapy private practice. This service works with nature to improve people’s health and wellbeing, and to promote healing and growth.

Earth Care

Our mission is to leave this land in a better state for the next generation than we found it, despite all the challenges that climate change presents.

Fair Share

Our aim is to facilitate the growth and distribution of resources for the health and wellbeing of our local community, recognising that not everyone has equal access to those resources.

Services

Yintarini Farm is the home of …Metaphorically Speaking… a mental health service, supporting the well-being of people and planet, through nature-based therapies.

  • Counselling and Eco-Therapy
  • Nature Therapy Walks for groups and individuals
  • Workshops on Sustainable Living


Upcoming Events

Homemade Pasta(GF), Preserving and Propagation

Saturday February 7, 2026 – 10am til 4pm

Tour the gardens of Yintarini Farm with Lucy, learn of her plans for the future, and get some dirt under your nails as she shows you how she grows from scratch, using both cuttings, and the seeds saved from previous crops.  Yes, there will be take-homes!

In the kitchen learn new skills and discover new recipes with Julie, from SBA’s Kitchen and The Garden at Tranquility, as you work together to preserve some tomatoes, make some flavour bombs, and freshly made pasta, all key ingredients used as we prepare a hearty lunch to share, throughout the day, while we take breaks to sit chat and relax.

This is a hands-on session, where you will learn new skills, enjoy delicious food, meet new folk, and have a little fun.  At the end of the day, you will leave the farm with recipes for all dishes prepared on the day, the plants/seeds from the propagation session, a jar each of the preserves from the preserving session, a little fresh pasta to cook at home, and any leftovers, if any, from the meal enjoyed throughout the day.
