About Freshwater Yabbies Farm

Nestled in the pollution-free, pristine environment of Port Stephens, just 2.5 hours from Sydney and 25 minutes from Newcastle Airport, our farm provides the ideal setting for yabby farming, particularly for cultivating freshwater crustaceans. 

Yabby Dabba Doo holds a permit to grow and culture the CSIRO Super Yabby, a selectively bred, improved strain of Cherax destructor. This selective breeding is a cornerstone of our sustainable aquaculture practices, ensuring healthy growth in our yabbies. 

In a pioneering move for an Australian yabby farm, we have initiated the production of our own fishmeal using resources cultivated on-site. This innovative approach transforms an invasive pest species into a sustainable protein source for our freshwater crustaceans, reinforcing our commitment to environmentally friendly practices. 

All feeds utilized on our farm are sourced locally and sustainably, free from restricted animal matter or wild-caught fish meal commonly found in various aquaculture feeds. We do not use antibiotics, hormones, or molecular and gene manipulation techniques. 

Growth improvements in our yabbies are achieved solely through our natural selective breeding program. 

We believe that environmentally and ecologically sustainable farming practices are the future, and we are dedicated to playing our part in this vision.
