Tucked away in the lush, coastal hills of Byfield, Queensland, Waterpark Farm is more than a tea tree plantation — it’s a family legacy built from the ground up. What began as a shared dream has grown into 850,000 thriving tea trees, a testament to generations of hard work, care, and connection to the land.
At the heart of it all is Jordan Slarke, a farmer whose deep respect for nature and commitment to biodynamic principles shape everything the farm stands for. Together with his family and team, Jordan has nurtured Waterpark Farm into a place where people, plants, and purpose intertwine — where every drop of tea tree oil tells a story of patience, care, and continuity.
This is a story not just of farming, but of belonging. Of one family’s devotion to the land, their community, and the generations to come.
Key Takeaways
Waterpark Farm’s story begins where rainforest meets the sea — in the quiet, green heart of Byfield, Queensland. The land here has always had a certain magic about it: fertile soils, clean air, and an energy that seems to breathe life into everything it touches. It’s this landscape that first inspired the Slarke family to plant their roots and begin what would become one of Australia’s most respected tea tree plantations.
What started as a modest family venture has grown, tree by tree, into a thriving farm of more than 850,000 tea trees. But the true measure of Waterpark Farm’s success isn’t just in numbers — it’s in the relationships that have deepened with each season. Every planting, harvest, and drop of oil reflects generations of care and connection.
Today, the farm stands as both a business and a legacy — a reminder that when you nurture the land with patience and purpose, it gives back in ways far beyond expectation.
At the heart of Waterpark Farm is Jordan Slarke, a farmer whose connection to the land runs deep. Raised with an understanding that healthy soil creates healthy life, Jordan has built upon his family’s vision — transforming a patch of Byfield country into a thriving biodynamic tea tree plantation.
Jordan’s hands-on approach reflects both tradition and innovation. You’ll often find him walking the rows at sunrise, checking the leaves, feeling the soil, and making sure the farm’s natural balance remains intact. His leadership is grounded in care — not only for the land, but for the people who work alongside him.
The Waterpark Farm team operates like an extended family. From planting and distilling to guiding eco-tours, every role is carried out with pride and purpose. Their shared commitment is what keeps the farm’s legacy alive — a daily effort to grow something meaningful, sustainable, and authentically Australian.
Growing 850,000 tea trees isn’t just a feat of scale — it’s a daily act of devotion. At Waterpark Farm, each tree begins as a small cutting, nurtured with the same attention and care as those first planted generations ago. The farm’s biodynamic practices mean that everything — from soil preparation to harvesting — is guided by nature’s own rhythm.
Rainwater, sunlight, and living soil form the foundation of every crop. There are no shortcuts here, no harsh chemicals or industrial methods. Instead, the team focuses on balance — maintaining healthy soil ecosystems, recycling organic material, and letting time do its work.
When harvest season arrives, each tree’s leaves are gathered and distilled on-site, capturing the freshness of the Byfield air in every drop of oil. It’s a slow, deliberate process, but that’s what makes the result so pure. The land gives generously — and the Slarke family ensures that generosity is always returned.
Sustainability at Waterpark Farm isn’t a marketing choice — it’s a way of life. From the beginning, the Slarke family has been guided by a belief that the land gives its best when it’s cared for in return. This philosophy led Jordan to embrace biodynamic and zero-waste practices, ensuring that nothing grown on the farm goes to waste.
Every part of the tea tree has a purpose. Once the oil is distilled, leftover plant matter is repurposed as mulch or compost, enriching the soil for the next generation of crops. Water is captured and reused, and the farm’s energy needs are carefully managed to reduce environmental impact.
These practices aren’t just good for the planet — they’re what give Waterpark Farm’s products their integrity. Each bottle of tea tree oil, each jar of Revival Cream, carries the story of land cared for with thoughtfulness and respect. It’s proof that innovation doesn’t mean moving away from nature — it means working in harmony with it.
For the Slarke family, Waterpark Farm has always been about more than just growing tea trees — it’s about people. The farm’s story is shared every day with locals, visitors, and customers who value authenticity and connection. Through guided eco-tours, guests can walk among the tea trees, breathe in the crisp Byfield air, and see first-hand how the oil is distilled. It’s a rare opportunity to experience the land that gives life to every Waterpark Farm product.
Beyond the farm gates, the community connection continues. Local partnerships, regional events, and environmental initiatives help strengthen ties with neighbours and fellow producers. Each sale — whether it’s a bottle of tea tree oil or a jar of Revival Cream — supports a cycle of local craftsmanship, sustainable agriculture, and shared pride in what the region produces.
In every way, Waterpark Farm is a reflection of its community — strong, humble, and growing together.
Waterpark Farm is proof that when you care for the land, it cares for you in return. What began as a family dream has become a living legacy — one rooted in Byfield’s soil, guided by generations, and sustained by a deep respect for nature.
For Jordan Slarke and his team, every tree planted and every drop of oil distilled is part of something bigger — a continuation of the values that built the farm in the first place: honesty, hard work, and harmony with the environment.
Today, Waterpark Farm stands not just as a thriving tea tree plantation, but as a reminder that family, community, and the land itself are inseparable threads in the story of Australian farming.
At Waterpark Farm, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our Byfield plantation follows biodynamic and zero-waste practices, ensuring that every part of the tea tree is used with respect for the land. After distillation, leftover plant matter is returned to the soil as mulch or compost, creating a self-sustaining cycle that nourishes future crops. We believe that farming should work with nature — not against it — and every harvest reflects that philosophy.
Yes, visitors are warmly welcomed to experience Waterpark Farm through our eco-tours. You can stroll through rows of thriving tea trees, learn how the oil is distilled, and see sustainable farming in action.
