tassie grown

On the eastern edge of Tasmania, where the hills of St Marys catch the first light, Adam and Fiona (Tassie Grown) are coaxing a small market garden into life, one rooted deeply in season, soil, and the quiet character of the place. Drawn to the region to farm at a human scale, Adam brings experience in horticulture and landscaping. They began with trays of herb and vegetable seedlings, learning the land’s rhythms and connecting with their community.

From these seedlings, they are weaving themselves into the local food story, offering young plants to home gardeners who, like them, believe nourishment begins in the soil. Their work is deliberate and organic: composting, planting by season, and building fertility slowly, every seed teaching a lesson in patience and hope.

This spring, they will sow their first full food crop, while continuing to grow and sell seedlings alongside expanding the garden. Tassie Grown moves steadily enough to notice the winds, deliberate enough to keep care at the centre, and guided by a belief that a thriving food system begins with knowing your grower—someone who makes considered choices, grows with intention, and honours both the land and the people who eat it.
