Are you ready to take your small holding, homestead or farm to the next level?
Let us show you how to create a thriving, resilient ecosystem that works with nature to maximise your results.
Does this sound familiar?
✅ You've bought your dream property, but there is so much to consider (access, buildings, fencing, food systems, land restoration, water, animals and more!)... where do you even start?!?
✅ You’ve planted a lot of trees, and you want to plant even more. But the digging, planting, maintenance and watering is a lot of work. You’re ready to elevate your trees into a highly productive and self-supporting forest system that maximises space and sunlight to massively increase its productivity.
✅ You know water is an amazing free resource, but because of your soil conditions or restrictions on your land, you’re not sure which (if any) water retention strategies would work for you
✅ You’ve bought a property that has been farmed conventionally or just been lawn for decades, and your focus is on restoring the land, building soil and creating productive systems that support nature and you.
✅ You need to design and build some additional buildings on your property (or you're starting on a blank slate) and you want the buildings to have a deep connection to nature and the land.
Time is a precious commodity. And all of us wish we had more of it!
The reality is, if you want to restore your land - whether a small holding, homestead or farm. You will have to learn how to master and manage water, soil and biodiversity.
The question is, do you want it to take 10 years and season after season of trial and error? Or do you want to catapult your progress, with the expert support you need to feel confident in your path forward.
One of the surest ways to leapfrog trial and error is by having mentorship support.
We’ve done the heavy lifting to stay at the cutting edge of knowledge on using water, soil, and biodiversity to regenerate and maximise your land’s productivity. Combine that with our passion for holistic strategy and design, and you’ve got a powerhouse of mentorship at your service.
By getting personalised 1:1 support to co-create a resilient and abundant homestead, small holding or farm, tailored to your unique conditions - you’ll design, implement and transform your property into a thriving, self-sufficient ecosystem - quickly, confidently, and with lasting results.

Introducing...
Whether you've just bought your dream property, or looking to optimise your established small holding, homestead or farm - together, we will show you how to 10x the productivity of your land with our specialised 1:1 mentorship and support.
Picture This!
- Imagine elevating your orchard into a self-sustaining forest oasis - resilient to drought and flood, and abundantly producing more than you can consume. You'll move from feeling lost and overwhelmed to having a clear, actionable plan that guides you through each season, ensuring your land produces healthy, nutrient dense food for your family with ease.
- Knowing that no matter what the seasons hold - dry or wet, your land is designed to harness the power of water to maximise every inch of this precious resource.
- Implementing strategies that will reduce your land restoration timeline from decades to years… maybe even months!
- Move beyond merely surviving to creating a flourishing, resilient homestead that provides for your family and reconnects you to a simpler, slower life in tune with nature’s rhythms. Your land will become a sanctuary of health and sustainability, reflecting your deepest values and long-term goals.
Eleanor just signed up, and here's what she has to say...
"The videos I have watched up to now are very inspiring. Full of information and presuming intelligent viewers. More than worthy of my time!"
We see these homesteading challenges come up all the time:
- You've spent hours of your valuable time doing research online, only to come out feeling more confused than before you started - because everyone has a different opinion. How are you meant to know what is best for your specific situation?
- In your excitement to get things going, you've implemented a huge project, like planting a ton of trees or creating a big veggie garden, only to realise you can't cope with the maintenance and management it requires.
- Or even worse, you've realised that project has a fundamental flaw and needs major reworking - like it's in the wrong place and it just doesn't work.
It's normal to have a certain number of not-so-great outcomes. It's part of the learning curve, experimentation and creativity. But we really want to minimise unnecessary hard lessons and costly mistakes as much as possible. We want our big decisions and projects to be clearly thought out, with a solid strategy behind them - leaving you to play with and test fun ideas, knowing that the core of your homesteading foundation is solid.

Have a look at some of our client homestead transformations
We've helped everyone from people trying to turn their backyard gardens into productive mini-farms, to large scale farms trying to optimise productivity and yield while restoring their land.
Homesteads and Farms
8 Hectare Farm
A Wetland Paradise
We helped Despi and Pat envision a new path for their underperforming and annually flooded 8 hectare banana farm.
By working WITH the water, to create a biodiverse wetland paradise including aquaculture, agroforestry, vegetable beds, homestead buildings and a wellness retreat centre.
"I cannot recommend the Wild Banana team enough, the insights and years of experience they bring to the crafting of a bespoke Masterplan ensures that the plan reflects not only what you actually need, but also what will best serve you and your property long term. Its the bedrock of the entire design process and they are masterful at guiding you through it."
~ Despi & Pat
Organic Farming
Building Multi-Generational Resilience
We helped design systems to alleviate severe flooding that this organic farm was facing, and bolster multi-generational resilience, through rehabilitating the over grazed hillside into abundant agroforestry systems - providing food, infiltrating run-off and creating spongy soils to mitigate flooding.
"We worked with Wild Banana Design to go beyond climate resilient interventions and design something holistically sustainable for the community and environment long-term."
~ Thanda
6 Hectare Homestead
A Truly Integrated Family Homestead
We designed a fully off-grid house deeply connected to nature for Barry and Naomi. This 6 Hectare homestead has 3 interconnected water bodies, agroforestry systems, veggie gardens, animal systems and two new homes.
Backyard Farmers Under 2000m2
Community Garden
Wielding Water
We helped Annelee to maximise her soil hydration, by diverting and infiltrating road rainwater runoff into the community garden - with the overflow hydrating the vegetable garden and food forest. As well as divert her greywater into an abundant banana circle.
"Working with water infiltration in our dry mediterranean climate has opened my eyes to new ways of hydrating the landscape without needing irrigation"
~ Annelee
2000m2 Backyard
Backyard Wonderland
We helped Angela to plan a strategy to integrate her family leisure spaces with her growing spaces. Allowing for a fully integrated garden that not only maximises her growing potential, but also encourages play and adventure.
"Working with Wild Banana Design gave me the tools and the advice I needed to create a concrete plan for our space, creating elements of a homestead that now add so much value to our lifestyle."
~ Angela

I’m not sure an online service can provide the level of support I need.

And if you have questions before you want to sign up, email your queries to [email protected] and we can book a quick call to discuss them.
I don’t have the skills or knowledge to design my homestead.
The problem with “done for you” design services, is that at the end of it you're left with a design, or implemented project, but you haven’t been through the whole creative process and do not have intimate knowledge of all the variables. Essentially you haven't gained any new skills from the experience. This is problematic, because you’re the one that needs to manage this system - it is critical that you are part of the design process.
That is why this approach is so unique. As we co-create your dream homestead together, you not only get the same level of support as you would with a “done for you” design service, you also get the education. Over the course of these 6 hours of calls, plus all the workbooks and videos, you are going to gain a mountain of knowledge which will support you throughout your land regeneneration journey.
Will this be tailored to my specific needs, or just a one-size-fits-all solution?

I’m already dealing with so much. How can I take on more?
This is exactly why you need SUPPORT. You shouldn’t have to do it alone. Mentorship and 1:1 support will provide clarity and a clear path forward. Our guidance will help you prioritise tasks and focus on what will have the most impact for your homestead.
