The University farms are essential in supporting the teaching and research activities of the School of Veterinary Science, the School of Life and Environmental Sciences (SoLES) and the Sydney Institute of Agriculture.
Corstorphine Farm is one of the sites at Cobbitty along with the Animal Reproduction and Horse Unit, May Farm, Mount Hunter Farm and Westwood Farm.
Corstorphine Farm lies on the banks of the Nepean River west of the historic village of Cobbitty. Corstorphine Farm supports 350 cows producing high-quality milk for the Sydney market. The deep alluvial soils are ideal for growing lush pastures required for milk production. The dairy is primarily used for research and teaching, and generates all of its own operating expenses by operating on a commercial-like basis.
