Mum is a fantastic milker and Harley our Saanen buck is top quality too - we get amazing milk and progeny from our herd. Kid “Toggles” is gorgeous too.

Just love it when someone (in this case Bec Davies and her partner Jayc) has the vision and the execution to cut through the clutter and bring people together. Have just discovered the fabulous Made It site where people from all over Australia who hand-make things (clothes designers, soap and balm makers (like me!), handbag makers, [...] If you’re reading this blog, you might be interested in the whole “Slow” movement which celebrates taking time to prepare good food, thoughts and friendships. Now in its fourth edition, there’s a beautifully produced Australian magazine celebrating all things “Slow”. The words it uses to describe itself/its readers are: “creative, leisured, aware, relaxed, satisfied, informed, sincere…” The brainchild of Jacqui [...] Had the lovely pleasure of meeting Linda Dawson, the other day. She runs “Photography by Linda” and was able to get us in at the last minute to take some product shots for a magazine that will be featuring our Farm Balm moisturiser, goats milk soap, lip balms and other products soon. For years I was a shopper at farmers markets, never even imagining I would have my own stand. I loved shopping for fresh breads, pickles, handmade cheeses and fresh macadamias…but now, I’m the one behind the table, enjoying the moment as people taste our different honies, try a lip balm or enjoy the scent of a raw [...] I’m sitting here chuckling at what a varied life our children are leading. I can’t help but smile when I think how we’re trying to bridge their world from the techno side to the eco/capable side. On one hand they live like lots of other kids, they surf the internet, watch tv and want to go [...] Just back from another day at Carole Willman’s cheesemaking course. The two days were held at Duck Under the Table at Wingham, NSW. First day: Camembert, Quarg, Ricotta & Mascarpone (yum, yum, yum and yum). Second day: goat’s cheese & fetta. All was going well until our group messed up the temperature for the fetta…whoops! So great being able [...] We’ve just had a fun few days with long time family friend Uncle Geoff who gave me a taste for farming when I was young. As a child and young teen I used to visit his property out at Bakers Swamp near Wellington, NSW. A true gentleman, Uncle Geoff built and lived in his own mud brick house and [...] What do you do when the grass is growing like crazy and you’re lawnmower breaks down? It’s called “Goat Picnic Day”… those special days in the year the goats don’t hang out in the animal paddocks, but actually get to roam the house and farmstay area nibbling everything in sight. It’s so fun to see them [...]  I skipped this year’s gourd planting (too busy making goats milk soap), but last season I planted heaps of varieties in mini raised tyre garden beds (I figured it was okay to use tyres because we weren’t going to be eating the gourds). The tyre beds were the easiest way for me to get the gourds [...] |
