PO saved by Farm Owners & Renewable Energy Projects and Food Security on The Country Telegraph.

Threatened Closure of Fingal PO saved by Farm Owners with William Russell, Farm Manager, Primal Pastures Tasmania.

William Russell, a Tasmanian farmer, who specialises in producing ethical pork, beef, goat and lamb on 365ha of regenerated land on Tower Hill, has taken over the Fingal Post Office, saving it from closure.

In time he hopes to provide a shopfront for his meat products which include whiskey barrel smoked bacon, cheese kranskies using Ashgrove cheese, traditional ham, cuts of beef, lamb/hogget, goat, heritage pork and sausages. William, a former commercial beekeeper from Gippsland, Victoria, had always wanted his own land, and his family picked up his property six years ago at a "reasonable price", complete with 70m mine shaft, an old miner's hut and a renovated farmhouse.

The farm is a 900 acre Farm doing Permaculture, Regenerative farming, Carbon Capture, Share Farming, Tiny House Eco Village, renewable energy with microgrid and beekeeping.
