Welcome to ReGenesis

ReGenesis Enterprises Pty Ltd.
Is the umbrella Company for a variety of linked, yet independent business undertakings that utilize innovative, sustainable and transformative systems to meet social and environmental challenges. 

Project One:
The ReGenesis Farm, a 130 acre farm in Myocum (outside Byron Bay), New South Wales, Australia, was purchased  and initiated in 2001 as  a living laboratory of land-based projects that focused on organic whole systems agriculture, ecological, ‘best practice’ farm forestry, and environmental regeneration and repair.  All systems utilized on The Farm  were to reflect efficiency, diversity and elegance of natural biological systems.

We hoped  to demonstrate that Whole Systems Farming not only worked, but could be ethically, ecologically and economically sustainable.

We sought to:
1. relate to the land as stewards, not users.,
2. relate to each other and the community, collaboratively, not competitively,
3. meet challenges through out-of-the-box problem solving, and experimentation,
4. transform ‘waste' into ‘valued resource'
5. grow food organically, and sustainably for the local community  and
6. empower  regional, economic development and sustainable food production.  We hoped  our systems would be  adaptable to site specific situations any where in the world.

REGENESIS FEATURED ON LANDLINE NATIONAL TV PROGRAM.
The well-reputed, national TV program, Landline, spent two and a half days filming The ReGenesis Farm and interviewing key staff members. The resulting twelve minute segment presented a fantastic overview of all aspects of the work - The Farm, The Orchards, The Bio-Recycling Program, The Grow-Operative, The Market Garden, The Soil Company and The Ecosystems Services Program.  The Show was aired in August 2005.

Project Two:
The ReGenesis Soil Co. & Bio-Recycling Program for the pick-up and conversion of town-wide food waste into a valuable resource, and the manufacture and sale of high quality compost. were launched in 2003 on the ReGenesis Farm site and continued through 2006.

Project Three:
At a second property in Main Arm Village, New South Wales, ReGenesis Village Pty. Ltd., working with Byron Shire Council's award-winning Rural Settlement Strategy, designed and is developing, an Eco-Hamlet, The Views at Main Arm, an expansion of the existing  Village Community incorporating principles of ecologically sustainable design and integrated land management.

The goal of each of these projects was to deliver financially sound, ecologically appropriate and ethically guided outcomes.

NEWS FLASH
WIND TURBINE APPLICATION ACCEPTED. 

ReGenesis  THE FIRST 20K WIND TURBINE IN NEW SOUTH WALES IS UP AND RUNNING. see full story below…

turbine

ReGenesis is committed to demonstrating agricultural independence from fossil fuels and petro-chemicals.   The installation of the Westwind 20 kw turbine is a big step in this direction.  The grid interactive system is expected to offset the farm's power requirements for the packing shed cool room and farm wide irrigation.   With the introduction of wind power and the conversion of farm vehicles to diesel or bio-diesel fuel, ReGenesis is moving gradually toward total energy self sufficiency and ecologically sustainable food production.

ReGenesis would like to demonstrate other alternative technologies at the farm and welcomes expressions of interest from manufacturers of new technologies for on-farm trials and demonstrations.
