Creating a resilient and abundant homestead or backyard farm doesn't have to mean years of education, acres of land, trial and error, or expensive investments that don't deliver...
That was the old way. Let me show you the new way.
If you're reading this page, then I'm guessing you dream about at least one of these things...
✅ To deepen your connection with nature, living in harmony with the seasons and your environment.
✅ To grow abundant produce, with plants resilient to pests and disease, that can cope with natural stressors like drought.
✅ To become self-sufficient, confidently producing your own food and reducing your reliance on grocery stores or inflated prices.
✅ To enjoy abundant, healthy, and nutrient dense produce that truly nourishes your family, free from harmful chemicals.
✅ Maximise the productivity of your space, whether its a small backyard or a larger property.
It used to be that in order to get those outcomes you needed to have inherited a farm and have multi-generational farming knowledge, or have to invest a ton of time and resources into building that knowledge yourself.
But the new way is much simpler than that.

Have a look at some of our client homestead transformations
We've helped everyone from people trying to turn their small backyard gardens into productive mini-farms, to large scale farms trying to optimise productivity and yield while restoring their land.
Homesteads and Farms
8 Hectare Farm
A Wetland Paradise
We helped Despi and Pat envision a new path for their underperforming and annually flooded 8 hectare banana farm.
By working WITH the water, to create a biodiverse wetland paradise including aquaculture, agroforestry, vegetable beds, homestead buildings and a wellness retreat centre.
"I cannot recommend the Wild Banana team enough, the insights and years of experience they bring to the crafting of a bespoke Masterplan ensures that the plan reflects not only what you actually need, but also what will best serve you and your property long term. Its the bedrock of the entire design process and they are masterful at guiding you through it."
~ Despi & Pat
Organic Farming
Building Multi-Generational Resilience
We helped design systems to alleviate severe flooding that this organic farm was facing, and bolster multi-generational resilience, through rehabilitating the over grazed hillside into abundant agroforestry systems - providing food, infiltrating run-off and creating spongy soils to mitigate flooding.
"We worked with Wild Banana Design to go beyond climate resilient interventions and design something holistically sustainable for the community and environment long-term."
~ Thanda
6 Hectare Homestead
A Truly Integrated Family Homestead
We designed a fully off-grid house deeply connected to nature for Barry and Naomi. This 6 Hectare homestead has 3 interconnected water bodies, agroforestry systems, veggie gardens, animal systems and two new homes.
Backyard Farmers Under 2000m2
Community Garden
Wielding Water
We helped Annelee to maximise her soil hydration, by diverting and infiltrating road rainwater runoff into the community garden - with the overflow hydrating the vegetable garden and food forest. As well as divert her greywater into an abundant banana circle.
"Working with water infiltration in our dry mediterranean climate has opened my eyes to new ways of hydrating the landscape without needing irrigation"
~ Annelee
2000m2 Backyard
Backyard Wonderland
We helped Angela to plan a strategy to integrate her family leisure spaces with her growing spaces. Allowing for a fully integrated garden that not only maximises her growing potential, but also encourages play and adventure.
"Working with Wild Banana Design gave me the tools and the advice I needed to create a concrete plan for our space, creating elements of a homestead that now add so much value to our lifestyle."
~ Angela
We want to spread the love as far as possible - so that all homesteaders and aspiring backyard farmers can access the support they need.
