Grow as Much Food as We Can

As our food becomes more industrialised in nature … and I believe inherently bland, human and environmental health is undoubtedly suffering. It strikes me, that its increasingly important for us to grow as much food as we can in our backyards, balconies, under the verandah, vertically up or down multi story dwellings, in wicker beds, […]

Turmeric Turmeric Turmeric

My interest in turmeric began when I consumed a tonic called Jamu, on a surfing trip to Indonesia many decades ago. Intrigued by its many health benefits & a deep curiosity, led to the experimentation in growing different varieties on our 4 hectare certified organic permaculture farm near Pt Elliot SA. A large hothouse followed […]

We’re blessed, our gardens are designed to produce up to 50 different herbs, fruits, nuts and vegetables every day of the year! During my first surf adventures to Indonesia in the late 70’s, […]
