Mussett Holdings Farm

What Mussett Holdings Farm does

Mussett Holdings Farm is a family-owned, off-grid regenerative farm based in Colo Vale in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, founded in 2016 by Will and Connie Mussett and their three children. The farm operates across approximately 40 hectares with 1,600 hens distributed across three mobile chicken vans, and produces pastured eggs, seasonal vegetables, microgreens, fresh herbs, raw honey (including barrel-aged bourbon honey), and a range of gourmet mushrooms (oyster, shiitake, lion's mane, chestnut, and gourmet mix). Underlying practices are biodynamic and regenerative — no chemical sprays, no synthetic fertilisers, daily pasture rotation, integrated mushroom-compost-to-vegetable nutrient cycling — and the site runs entirely off-grid on wind and solar generation with rainwater collection and a biocycle septic system.

The core commercial offering is a direct-to-consumer weekly subscription box delivered Wed-Fri across the Southern Highlands NSW region (from Bundanoon/Burrawang in the south to Hill Top in the north), built on a Shopify storefront with pause/skip/swap functionality. Customers start with an egg base ($12/carton of 12 or $27/tray of 30) and add a vegetable box (Mini $30 or Small $40, or build-your-own), plus microgreens ($6/50g punnet), fresh herbs ($4/bunch), honey ($10-$20 depending on size and variety), and mushrooms ($10-$30 across SKUs and sizes). Complementary revenue streams include one-off purchases on the same Shopify storefront, 90-minute farm tours (Saturday mornings, school holidays, private, corporate), and a K-12 school education program ($25/student + GST, minimum 20 students). The farm has a co-development partnership with Kielty's Irish Sauces producing Mushroom Ketchup (40% oyster mushrooms) and Mushroom Hot Sauce (20% chestnut mushrooms), which represents the first branded packaged-goods line.

Customers are predominantly residential households across Bowral, Moss Vale, Mittagong, Bundanoon, Hill Top and surrounding communities, with a smaller institutional segment drawn from local schools. Marketing is concentrated on Instagram (@mussettholdingsfamilyfarm), Facebook, an email newsletter ($5 first-order incentive, monthly farm updates), an extensive recipe library, and the experiential farm-tour channel. The operation is bootstrapped, privately held, and operated primarily by the founding family with no disclosed external investment.
