My past works
About me
I am located on an acreage 600km west of Brisbane and have gained significant insight into the region and regional requirements, where we are challenged with weather extremes from floods to droughts. I have also lived in a number of places across Australia so have lived experience growing food and building gardens across various climates.
At my property, I welcome groups of students, farmers and the community to come and learn about different growing techniques, resource efficient farming, planting for the climate, and building sustainable, self-reliant communities. I also run workshops on food preservation, fermentation and have my own body product range.
