This blog and site is your window into what we are out to achieve, and how
we can make a difference in the world through our commitment to be the most
productive, efficient and profitable bio-dynamic farmers in the country,
supplying the highest quality produce to our community.
This will be achieved by; 1) working in tandem with our environment, enhancing
and repairing the surrounding area, being leaders in this field within the
community; 2) having our enterprises be models on which others can learn from and
replicate, and be a lasting contribution to society by demonstrating what is
possible; and 3) having the food we grow and produce be the most nutritious,
mouth-watering, gorgeous and delicious food ever tasted!
All of this will be achieved by using sustainable practices, minimising our impact on the planet and all of its inhabitants.
The content of the posts will primarily be about what we are doing on the farm and matters that relate to that, like organic food, bio-dynamics and community supported agriculture. We may wander slightly off topic to include material on sustainability, the environment, climate change and the like, but generally we'll remain in the green arena.

I am a late 40's passionate environmentalist, committed to transforming the way mankind is treating this planet, and I'm out to ensure that when I leave it, the Earth will be in better shape than when I arrived.
"The planet is not a gift from our parents, rather a loan from our children."
Trained and experienced in (urban) horticulture, landscape design and natural area restoration, this farming venture is the realisation of a 30 year dream of mine - so to have be real in the world is both exhilarating and quite scary .... but sooo much fun! It is also the truest expression of who I am in the world.
Aside from the above, I'm a keen photographer, really enjoy cooking and tasting fine wine, and I love music. I have two awesome teenage children, Alex and Cooper, from my first marriage.
