Kirsten is a farmer, artist, organizer and mother who is passionate about land access, good Permaculture design, pattern literacy, local food and seed sovereignty.
With a background in the arts, Kirsten has been making work which questions and investigates our relationship with nature for nearly a decade.
In the last 5 years her focus has shifted towards practical strategies for sustainability and running a tight ship at both Milkwood Farm and Milkwood Permaculture in central NSW, Australia with her husband Nick Ritar.
Milkwood Permaculture offers world-class courses that give folks the skills and confidence to create permanently sustainable systems. Students leave ready and able to design & implement a better future for their families, farms and communities. Courses are run at Milkwood Farm near Mudgee and also in the center of Sydney.

Aussies now have a portal for finding land to grow, or sharing land with others. Is this the beginning of a wider land-access network? I hope so!
