ABOUT US & OUR COMMUNITY
Heart Farm is an exciting venture emerging from the vision of two sisters, Ash and Sammy, who have spent their lives in the dance and entertainment industry.
Their unique skills and passions are shaping this new project: Ash brings her expertise in organization and event coordination, while Sammy contributes her holistic approach, deep love for animals, and creative vision.
Inspired by their decades of experience running a family dance studio, Ash and Sammy are building Heart Farm as a place where people can come together to celebrate, connect, and heal.
They envision Heart Farm as a beautiful venue where guests will step into a one-of-a-kind environment and leave feeling fulfilled and energized.
Currently in development, Heart Farm will host events ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations, catering to all ages.
We plan to collaborate with local vendors, entertainers, and suppliers from Coffs and the surrounding regions.
With Australia's natural beauty and our distinctive brand, Heart Farm aims to attract visitors from around the world to this scenic rural location, offering a special retreat.
