Tom Bradman

Tom Bradman is the founder and owner of Nomad Farms, together with Verity Slee. Before starting Nomad Farms in 2013, Tom worked for the Commonwealth Government department of Agriculture in Canberra in both legal and policy roles, most recently as director of Sustainable Agriculture Policy. Although still keenly interested in what happens beyond his farm gate, Tom is more likely to be found in a paddock than an office these days, exactly as he prefers it.

Producing Beef, Chicken, Hoggett, Wool and Garlic, Nomad Farms continues to develop as a successful small family farming business based on the Fleurieu Peninsula, SA. They have a passion for local, regional produce, produced using methods which regenerate landscapes and communities. Nomad Farms aim for the best produce, using these techniques and aim to share this with chefs and home cooks alike.

Nomad Farms constantly strive to improve landscape health. They think healthy, diverse, abundant ecology is the very driver of highly productive farms, that they are one and the same, and such systems drive ecology, communities and economics in a positive direction. This is why Nomad Farms call what they do ‘regenerative’. It builds.

Nomad Farms has been honoured to receive several awards for both their landcare work and for the quality of their produce.
