This week marks 4 years since we brought a 10 acre bare block of land and began our wee dream here ✨️ ❤️ 💕
4 years of hard graft, blood sweat and some tears. Trail and error, plenty of learning curves, and so much fun and gratitude 🙏 for our oppotunity to call this piece of paradise HOME.
There is not a day I don't wake up and feel totally so lucky to be living this life (also not many days we don't fall into bed tired 😴 and physically knackered from all the hard yakka)
In 4 years, we have created a successful business that generates full time income, creates biodiversity, and many new habitats for the bird and insect populations, and the benificial fungi 🍄🟫.
We grow the majority of what we eat in meat, dairy, fruit &vegetables, chickens, catch fish 🐟 weekly 2 min down the road, even make out own booze from boysenberries (so delish but wowzers, good times 😉🥴)
we rely less and less on the supermarket trips. Still a long way to go.....but its a start.
It's hard work, and not something I don't think I could manage if I had to work off the property elsewhere; but we get the feeling that past generations (and many current) that know this way of living as the only way of living: were truly onto something ✨️🌟
