The aim of this website...

is to be an educational site and to promote home grown and produced food. More people than ever desire to grow and produce their own food but don’t know where to begin. This site has been designed to cover as many areas as possible to help you on the road to food self sufficiency. If you are a bit daunted by all the work involved- take heart as the two of us are managing to do so. I have my own Permaculture teaching business and a lot of my time is taken up by that, but I still milk my cow and four goats before I set of for work each day.

 The gardens are always in a state of flux but as typical Permaculture gardens, they keep on being food productive even if I don’t have much time to work in them. We all seem to have very busy life styles these days and find it hard to do everything we like to do, but I’m telling you that it is possible to have your cabbage, turn it into sauerkraut and eat it too. Sure there’s work involved but this is a lifestyle that I wouldn’t trade for any other. Once you have the taste of real food, then supermarket food doesn’t taste the same. Home made pasta is to die for and a slab of home made tempeh made from soy beans is absolutely delicio. How can you not have a large bowl of fresh greens from the garden on the dinner table or a bottle of home made fruit wine to go with it?
