Environmental Sustainability & Animal Welfare
At Karradale we are committed to the sustainability of our farm and business. We invest in soil amelioration and improvements each year along with the rehabilitation and protection of natural environments.
We have recently established legume pasture species across all farms which produce organic nitrogen to aid in plant growth. In time this will reduce the reliance on applied nitrogen which is a great move toward a more sustainable style of farming practice.
At Karradale our animal welfare practice is in the forefront of our minds. Karradale is a registered member of the Better Choices Audited Welfare Program, has been successfully audited by the National Wool Declaration Integrity Program via AWEX and is Livestock Production Assurance Program accredited.

Local busy bees, donations and fundraising are all core values of community living. Karradale is also a proud supporter of the Smith Family and RFDS
Contributing to WA's Economy
Our business spends millions of dollars each year to run its operation, a large proportion of this goes to West Australian business and to people directly employed in the Agricultural industry.
