Welcome to Our Farm

This blog is about us, Kate and Mark, our farm and the way we strive to live more gently on the Earth, following Permaculture Ethics and Principles and using Biodynamic practices. We live simply and happily on 14 acres in the Hunter Valley, Australia. I will post most of the entries but every now and then there will be a gem from Mark. Rest assured that all comments are read and appreciated. Thanks for visiting.

An Amazing Individual

I've had cause to say this to Mark quite a few times today. He truly is an amazing individual. While he has been away and with all the rain we've been having, the garden has just gotten out of hand.Before morning tea Mark had started to tame it.He had paths cleaned up, green manure crops turned in,and weeds thrown to the chooks.
But it started long before that. Up at 5.30 to milk the cow, down to the garden to harvest for the boxes, and while I washed and packed he got breakfast ready, and then made paneer cheese.

While I was delivering boxes he continued with the garden and while I did the animal feeding, lock up and egg collection he cooked me my favourite dinner.....



Fried paneer cheese with roasted capsicum, eggplant and tomatoes, caramelised onions on fried bread. Yuuuummy!


Mark, you are an amazing individual!
