PA Yeomans regarded the promotion of his Keyline principles as an essential part of his farming practice. His weekend tours of his property Yobarnie at North Richmond would occasionally turn into field trips lasting several days during which he would offer lessons on sustainable farming and social infrastructure.

Following this tradition, join artists Lucas Ihlein and Ian Milliss, and members of PA Yeomans family in a day-long field trip to Oaks Organics for a chance to discuss Yeomans’ ideas and see a Keyline farm which still operates on his original principles.

Oaks Organics is run by Peter and Julie Clinch and the farm was redesigned as a Keyline Farm by Peter’s father in the 1960s. He was inspired by one of PA Yeomans field days at his original farm Yobarnie at North Richmond.

We will explore not just this farm and Yeomans’ farm design principles and their implications for a sustainable agricultural future but also discuss why Yeomans’ approach to problem solving can be seen as a model for understanding cultural change and the radical re-interpretation of the role of the artist.

The bus leaves from the National Art School at 9.30am and will return around 4:30pm.

BYO picnic lunch, thermos and picnic blanket and suitable clothes and boots for hiking around a farm.
