The speaker today scared me a little with how much work he has put in to try and make a living from native foods, but at the same time I was very inspired to try and get some productive native trees and use them to solve the problem of what to put in the chook pen and the cow paddock for shade, creating an Australian version of an English hedgerow.
After lunch we went for an excursion to Lachie and Jan Hollis's organic farm where they grow garlic, calendulas and make essential oils. Emma and I both really love visiting other people's farms, checking everything out - soil, drying sheds, machinery, even just sneaking away to look at the old farmhouse.
“I’m grateful that I looked at that animal book of cuddles and go to make a lovely leopard at preschool.”
