"The Vision"

Here I will be documenting our journey from vacant half acre block to beautiful and productive homestead. Our vision is to have a sustained way of life still within half an hour of the city. We want the whole lot; chooks, veges, fruit trees, aquaponics and all the fun our little hobby farm has to offer. Our ideal in this consumer driven society is to be near self sufficient or at least to learn enough to one day fulfill our dream of doing this..What more of a lifestyle could our young ones want for than homegrown food and outdoor lifestyle..exciting!!


We are blessed enough to be building next door to our lovely family who will be sharing this entire process with us. They have the half acre next door to us and have similar visions for their land too. We both have young children and really want them to experience nature and growing up eating produce straight from the land. I'm sure they will all have a wonderful childhood with this choice we have made, and what more could a parent ask for? Mucky happy little monsters.
