Farms
Enabling groundbreaking research towards a sustainable future
Our network of farms are essential in supporting the present core teaching and research activities of the School of Veterinary Science,ÌýSchool of Life and Environmental Sciences and the Sydney Institute of Agriculture.
They are vital to securing new initiatives arising from government and industry priorities in education, bioscience and food chain research occasioned by climate change, peak oil, urbanisation, food and water security.
South Western Sydney is located within the Sydney metropolis and forms part of a rapidly expanding growth corridor in the city's western suburbs.
Farms in this region are operated for learning and research, with some commercial components, offering valuable real-world experience for aspiring agriculturalists.
Camden, located 65 kilometers southwest of Sydney, offers agriculture and veterinary science students a unique learning environment.
The campus facilities provide hands-on experience in animal husbandry, reproduction, and research, ensuring students are well-prepared for careers in the agricultural industry.
McGarvie Smith Farm / Fleurs Farms comprise 344 hectares of beef cattle fattening enterprises. This site is used by Arthursleigh as an agistment site for their cattle.
Coates Park, Wolverton Farm, John Bruce Pye Farm (JB Pye Farm) and the Greendale School site comprise 466 hectares of beef cattle fattening enterprises. JB Pye Farm is used for teaching and research as a demonstration mixed enterprise farm.
The Faculty of Science is committed to advancing agricultural innovation in regional New South Wales to address global challenges such as food security and sustainable food production.
Northwest NSW is a vital hub for research and teaching at the University, encompassing diverse agricultural landscapes. The University maintains farms and facilities in Narrabri and Nowley, located in the heart of Australia's agricultural sector. The crop and livestock farms integrate advanced technologies to enable innovative research, hands-on learning and strong industry partnerships.
Arthursleigh (7900 ha) is located near Goulburn. The property was bequeathed to the University in July 1979 from the estate of the late Eric Thomas Wallis Holt, AFC.
The farm is operated commercially and used for teaching and research in pasture agronomy and animal science. It is a valuable teaching resource for the University as it allows access to wildlife areas and provides an ideal venue for field trips.
