Everyday Life in Nature: A Slow Life of Building, Growing Food and Painting

We are always learning so much from nature’s cycles; and finding beauty in the mist in the hills, the birdsong that fills the valleys, and picking avocados, loquats and lemons in the dripping rain. It’s a special and busy week here on the farm, we finish our shed to studio conversion and paint a big mural on one of the walls! We keep up with all of the farm work — pulling weeds in the rain, fixing fences and shepherding naughty goats. We live and farm on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal people of the Bundjalung Nation and these practices of regenerative living, agriculture and permaculture owe their roots and theories to Indigenous knowledge — they have been practiced by Indigenous People around the world for so many years. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on, and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial. ht
