Margan Pastoral operates across three properties — Hanaminno, Little Plains, and Bonnie Doone — in the Boorowa region of NSW, spanning approximately 5,000 hectares of productive pastoral country.
Across the entire operation we run beef cattle, sheep, and pigs, all pasture raised using regenerative and holistic grazing principles. Our focus is on working with the landscape rather than against it — building soil health, improving pasture diversity, and increasing the biological resilience of the land over the long term.
This is farming with purpose and a long-term view, and the people who thrive here share that same connection to country and commitment to doing things right.
