Sustainable living. . . with merriment

In August 2011, we kissed goodbye a comfortable life and financial security in Australia to come home and set up a sustainable farm in the Nelson Lakes area of New Zealand's South Island.

We have 25 hectares, a Permaculture Design Certificate and no practical farming experience.

​We also have a great sense of humour. We're probably going to need that.

In a nutshell

We farm Highland cattle and Wiltshire sheep and grow saffron.

We've also been enslaved by an ever-increasing flock of chooks. We are forced to do their bidding while they run amok around the farm and lay eggs in strange places.
​

We grow as much of our own food as we can. We host terrific dinner parties. We never make the same mistake twice.
