Just Do It
We owe it to the earth and all of it’s inhabitants to try and continually educate ourselves and improve. We are participants in it’s decline, just as we are now participants in trying to improve things for the future.
About Us
Our farm is non-commercial. We earn a living with other businesses off farm and employ a number of local people in those operations.
We are from traditional farming families and studied classic ag & vet science at uni. We used to poison everything and try to tame nature to fit some idealised aesthetic.
We make plenty of mistakes. We are a long way from perfect and still do things that aren’t aligned with our permaculture ethic. We believe in progress, not perfection.
