New Start

Jody Wall
We've moved the focus of the community endeavour down the northern end of the farm. It's a new start, with a defined permaculture outlook. There is a new shed to go up, dams to be built, and an extensive aquaponics system to develop. We'll be housing WOOFers, and other permaculture volunteers.
