Environment
Arisaig is 100% off grid. No mains power, no mains water, no nothing! All our electro-juice comes from the sun and our liquid-juice comes from the sky. It’s an extremely rewarding feeling knowing you can come here, run a workshop and have little to no impact on the current climate issues we face.
Trees
We are privileged to have a number of trees that pre-date white settlement. These trees are estimated to be over 500 years old. They have to be seen to be believed!
Flora and fauna
Arisaig has an extremely diverse array of flora and fauna across it’s 100 acres including Orchids, Koalas, Echidna, Wallaby, Kangaroo and countless bird species. We also have a large population of Antechinus a genus of small dasyurid marsupials. They resemble mice with the bristly fur of shrews. They are sometimes also called broad-footed marsupial mice, pouched mice, route rat and/or Antechinus shrews. They have a very interesting trait where the entire male population dies post copulation due to stress hormones which are released during mating season.

Water
All the water used on the property is harvested from the buildings we have. We ask that you be mindful when using our water as it’s an extremely scarce commodity here. Waste.
We try to use as much of the waste we produce on the property and minimize our contribution to landfill. We’re not perfect but were constantly looking at ways to improve. Feel free to let us know if you have any ideas.
