Yabbie Farm
    A simple sign tacked to a gum in the Inman valley suggests there's something tasty in the nearby dams. And it also shows that Carol Schofield is s serious yabbie farmer. She operates  Galloway Farm which is about 16 kilometres from Yankallila on the road to Victor Harbor. Her series of dams are stocked with thousands of tiny crayfish. "We try to create close an environment as possible to the river" Lawn clippings are used for feed and they have plenty of protein content. "We're feeding around 1000 per pond. They breed regularly and sporn every three months".

    After they're out of the mud they're into storage and cleaning tanks and then used for their meat ... with the shells being recycled into burley. The water used is also recycled with a water garden acting as a natural filter system. Carol does more than farm the yabbies - you can visit the property for a full tour that includes a yabbie bake. "Tail meat is the best eating part of the yabbie. You can also enjoy many other parts. In addition to being eaten, straight from the water the meat can also be pickeled and blended into pate". There's more than yabbies on the farm and the tour includes looking at the other aspects. If you like the peaceful surrounds of the valley enough there's also a bed and breakfast available. The yabbie farm is especially good for groups and has parking space for coaches. Galloway Farm Tours is open Thursday to Monday from 10am till  4.
