Living in a Huge 60-Year-Old Permaculture Food Forest! Gardening, Foraging and Cooking Tour
Join us this week as we give a tour of the farm, and all of the fruit and nut trees! We forage as we go, and then cook a pavlova and make tea -- entirely from all of our foraged ingredients! Perfect for a rainy day picnic. We also chat about how grateful we are to be nurtured by the trees planted and the actions taken by our parents and grandparents.
60 years ago, our grandparents immigrated to Australia and moved onto this land. It was an old banana, pineapple and passionfruit farm -- and unsustainable farming practices meant that the land was degraded, the old growth rainforests were chopped down. Our grandparents then planted so many tropical fruit trees (avocados, mangoes, lychees, longans, macadamias, pecan nuts, passion fruit, black sapote, guava, jaboticapas, jackfruit, kiwi fruit, custard apple, malay apple, brazilian cherries, wax jambus, carambola, citrus, and bananas!)
Then, our parents took over and continued this legacy of regenerating the land and planting and caring for this immense food forest. Now, it is our turn!
We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia -- working our way towards self sufficiency and off grid living on Bundjalung Country in the rainforests of East Australia. We moved from the city to our family’s regenerative, organic farm with a dream to create a more sustainable future for generations to come.
Join us as we learn to care for the land, the animals, and take steps every day to live self-sufficiently!
Here we will share a weekly diary of our trials and joys as we learn to be gardeners, builders, farmers and carers for the land and animals.
