About the host
Hosted by Amanda Scrivenor
I used to spend my working days on, and under, the water as a marine biologist, then we bought a farm...
... it had one rosemary bush, nothing edible, neglected pasture BUT endless potential.
So we started raising crops and livestock to feed our own family.
At some point, we had surplus (including enough sauces and relish for the coming of the zombie apocalypse), so I started selling it. People liked what they bought and everything took off from there.
This required a 'seasonal education'.
At 1000m, we had to learn (and never stop learning) about our land and how it is affected by the seasons. This involved, letting things seed and waiting until they sprout to discover when to sow and harvest. Same for livestock: where they do well, when and for how long.
And, of course, you can't take the science out of the scientist so experiments are always happening and data is always being gathered :)
Today, we have a productive vegetable garden, fruit orchard, chickens and Australian White sheep run on native and improved pastures.
We’re really proud of what we've built over the last few years. It’s great to see the kids eating healthy, understanding how to grow their own food, how to look after livestock … and welcoming others to enjoy our place. Hope to see you soon!
