Henry Sheehan - FigTrees Organic Farms

Henry started his working career jackerooing in north west NSW and  QLD on properties working with sheep and cattle on  large holdings.
Ten years ago he met Glenn Morris and started working with Figtrees Organic Farms.
This was Henry's introduction to Holistic Management principles and managing animals and the landscape in a chemical free environment.
It was a real turning point for Henry and he now has a much deeper understanding of nature and a commitment to work with it. He gets real pleasure working with animals to enhance the environment , and in producing a healthy animal through a healthy living soil.  

‘Wilton Park’ – Grafton
​Henry manages the FigTrees' 'Wilton Park' farm which is a magnificent property located on the banks of the Clarence River in northern NSW. It is a 400ha grazing property with alluvial loams and yellow podzolic clay soils and annual rainfall of over 1000mm. It has been proudly owned by the Clinton Family for over 40 years.

Ten years ago Henry Sheehan met Glenn Morris (right) and a partnership was formed that will go down in history.

Wilton Park was previously a high quality dairy farm, where the cows produced such a rich quality of milk that the farm was fined by the milk company for having excessive cream in the milk! Cows producing an excess of cream is an attribute that we can now turn to great advantage in producing exceptional quality calves to grow out and fatten at Billabong.
A primary goal at Wilton Park is to restore the natural ecosystem processes of the area. The restoration of Wilton Park includes the rehabilitation of the soil and several wetlands. The wetlands and healthy soils act as reservoirs to capture and re-charge the rainfall from frequent Northern Rivers thunderstorms.
