Cooking on my Esse every chance I get - I never thought the taste would be that different, but it is, and it's absolutely amazing! . . I'm supposed to be tiling the hearth with a black tile but after unearthing the original concrete slab, I'm thinking I m

Pouring my first bucket of 'Cuerindi Creek' honey! ❤🐝 . . . Yesterday, as a family, saw us 'cracking' the first of our hives to harvest 4 overflowing frames before our Winter Shutdowm. We yielded an amazing 7.5kg of the most delicious honey

Simple lunchtime pickings! - mixed lettuce and the spunkiest little heirloom capsicum I have ever tasted, sweet and spicy and extremely DELICIOUS!

This man, this place, this life - I truly am blessed! . . . Life has changed so much for us over the past 6 months and an ongoing medical condition has almost crippled my farmer. There are still daily struggles but my farmer is strong, he pushes on and m

Early morning hive inspection. ❤ . . . Friday, last week, saw the arrival of my very first hive - a gift from a beekeeping neighbour who now has me (slightly) obsessed with my new buzzy friends! 🐝🐝🐝

Exploring some of the rickety old buildings down by our creek, and wondering just how many sheep this old shearing shed has seen/shorn? Excited for how many more sheep it will shear in the future! . . . This past week has seen me looking at a heard for o

Plump, juicy tomatoes bulging on my vines - isn't it amazing what a couple of week's, a few inches of rain, and glorious temps in the 20'C's can do! 😄♥

There's something truly magical about sharing seeds from your garden, and at my new library they embrace this magic with their very own 'seed library'. Simply take as many packets of seeds as you need (free of charge) and at the end of the growing season,

Muddled amongst my overflowing tomato vines, there's an abundance of basil plants growing happily in this super moist and humid Autumn weather here at our new farm.

Some Winter seedlings, starting to emerge - onions, artichokes, mixed greens, spinach, and flowers for cutting to name a few. . . . The bulk of my Winter plantings this year have gone directly into the ground - loads of different broccoli varieties, caul
