Originally founded by Josh and Narelle Melnick as a place to reimagine a more hopeful future for their three children, Waves Farm has evolved into a centre for connection, wellness, inspiration, practice, and leadership.

We believe that creating a human-scale place to experience regenerative principles whilst nurturing the human spirit can drive meaningful social and environmental change.

We gather, farm, play, and learn on Bunurong/Boonwurrung land. We acknowledge and respect the First Nations People of Australia as the original custodians of the land and waters. We honour Elders past and present whose knowledge, wisdom and spirituality has ensured the continuation of Culture and traditional practices.

We are a small-scale regenerative market garden practicing Biodynamic principles and growing a diverse rainbow of crops.

We are an open and family friendly farm, growing food and offering experiences for people of all ages to learn about caring for soil and growing food regeneratively.

We are 100% local, and certified by Mornington Peninsula Produce @068

Approximately half of Waves Farm is a UNESCO wetlands sanctuary, where we're restoring what was once drained and degraded cattle pasture back to thriving wetland ecosystems. This work sits at the heart of our regenerative practice: caring for Country, increasing biodiversity, and protecting habitat for the future.

Most of us want a healthy environment, healthy food, and a hopeful future for our children. But where to start?

We live in a world that doesn't present many positive role models for what this could look like. When we move from our heads and into our hands and hearts—when we have experiences in real life on the land, on the farm, in community—what was once abstract anxiety becomes grounded in simple action. What starts as a little ripple in one person or family can become a big wave of change.
