Age won’t slow 90-year-old farmer determined to build on conservation, farm sustainability work
With her 90th birthday just weeks away, Maisie Enders will not be walking off her farm anytime soon.
Key points:
- Maisie Enders and her husband were among the first to put their whole farm under a conservation covenant
- At nearly 90 years of age, she received support from a team of jobseekers to help keep her farm sustainable
- They have been gaining skills and experience while working on conservation covenant properties
Mrs Enders and her husband Stan moved onto their Carboor farm in north-east Victoria in 1953.
Decades on, she remains determined to build on her late husband’s sustainable farming work, giving back to the land they have made a living on.
“The way he developed it [the farm] he wanted to preserve it,” Mrs Enders said.
