Mudgee Microscope Group (MMG) is a group of farmers who meet on a monthly basis to contribute to an open-minded forum on soil health, in particular soil microbiology.

Don’t let the microscope deter you! Far from ‘hardcore’ scientists, our basic goal is to learn practical, inexpensive methods of assessing the impact of different management practices on soil health.

All Watershed members are welcome to come along and benefit from the open discussion on soil health and farm sustainability.

Interested in coming?  

We usually meet on the last Thursday of the month from 5.30 to 9.00pm and have a bite to eat & a beer or glass of wine during the night. We take in new members in February and July each year.

Contact Thea for more information... or you can read here a case study about the MMG.
