Elisabeth Fekonia
Accredited Permaculture Teacher

Elisabeth lives on 6 acres at Black Mountain just west of Cooroy on the Sunshine Coast. She has learned many skills over the past 17 years in becoming food self sufficient with the help of their cows and goats for milk and meat, pigs, chooks, bees, worm farms, veggie gardens and fruit trees. Most of their food needs are met from the farm and these are supplemented with sourdough bread made from freshly milled organic wheat with a slab of cheese and a salad from the garden washed down with a glass of fruit wine; her daily food is very satisfying, incredibly healthy and cheap. A home grown and produced diet can’t be compared to what you buy in the shops.
A few years ago Elisabeth thought it a good idea to become a Permaculture teacher to help others to grow and produce their own food. She has achieved this in the form of one day workshops that will help people to make their own cheese, sourdough, wine, miso and tempeh etc, teaching about growing tropical vegetables and also teaching organic gardening courses at the Yandina Community Gardens.
It’s becoming more important each day to become responsible for our own food security and to have access to healthy, living food.
