STORY

Our garden (and house) has a permaculture heart..

We have:
• European Honey Bees and Native Bees
• Chickens in a fully council compliant coop
• Aquaponics system
• Wicking vegetable beds
• Extensive compost system
• Worm farm
• 6KW solar system
• Solar Hot Water
• 6000L rainwater tank
• Wood fired heating (powered exclusively by kerbside foraging)

Our vegetable garden is in our front yard to harness the sun and to inspire others to grow veggies.

We’ve created many meals entirely produced from our garden. We focus on maximum productivity with minimum waste. We produce more vegetables, honey, fish and eggs than we can eat.

We are 100% organic, thriving on manures, compost and worm juice, without the use of herbicides, fungicides or pesticides.

Our house is called The Hive and the hive theme has been carried through to the design of our handmade hexagonal hardwood wicking beds.

Our family of five love our garden, it’s set up to be abundant with minimal effort. We hope you like it too
