“Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.”
“It is impossible to have a healthy and sound society without a proper respect for the soil.”
The Beacon
Our occasional newsletter, The Beacon, is packed with good things including farm news, upcoming live and virtual events, articles on social justice, farming, nutrition and healing, volunteer and employment opportunities, and special offers to use on our shop.
The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.
"This learning from the earth and from the people who work the earth or travel it, is of endless discovery and interest, and is like making a collection of beautiful things of many kinds."

This week has been all about dehydrating and fermenting. We’ve dehydrated herbs from the garden, and the hot peppers. We’ve also dehydrated apples, which we love as part of our farm made nutola.
We’ve started vinegars made from peaches and apples, and we’ve started making our own yoghurt again.
Watch this space or our Facebook page or sign up for our email list for information on classes to help you design and grow your garden, and to preserve your harvest.
