I’m Andrew
I’m a small-scale farmer in rural Victoria, Australia, living off-grid, cultivating food and raising meat.
I was a big city dweller working a nine to five corporate job with little to no time to make deeper connections with the things I’m passionate about. In particular; food. Not just the food on our table but how the food got there.
Food plays an incredibly important role in our lives. It brings us together, we use it to both celebrate special occasions and provide comfort in tougher times. It’s a cornerstone of the worlds cultures and a connection between strangers. Food provides the nutrition we need to survive. Yet we are disconnected with where our food comes from, how it is produced and how it is treated.
Our small farm in rural Victoria, once a blank canvas of mixed pasture, is my connection to the land and where our food comes from. Our acreage is home to a mixed flock of poultry, a mob of sheep, a herd of cattle, a tribe of goats and the occasional team of pigs. It hosts a productive kitchen garden and a fruitful orchard.
In the homestead, along with myself, you’ll find my husband, Matthew, our son, Jensen, our cat, Shelby and our terrier, Pippa.
This is our nirvana.
