Case Study – Southampton Homestead, Balingup

Jeff Pow and Michelle McManus own and run Southampton Homestead in Balingup, southwest WA producing pasture-raised chickens and Muscovy ducks.

Having received a number of national awards for innovation in farming, Southampton HS is nationally and internationally recognised for their work towards “reclaiming the terms of trade on farm” by optimum value-adding of their produce.

Their story of recovery from the devastation of the 2013 fires has been an inspiration to many people as it demonstrates the true courage of individuals and community who are determined to achieve their goals.
