We have recently moved to a 5 acre property with a large pond within walking/biking distance of Richmond, near Nelson. I work from home as a Physiotherapist,Yoga teacher and health coach. I homeschool 1 of my 2 children.My husband works works full time. We have chooks for eggs, ducks and sheep for meat. We are transforming the property to a Permacuture system so lots of digging out undesirable plants,planting, sheet mulching, mowing,firewooding, planning and planting, fencing,revegitation around the pond. going on right now.
We have had a Permaculture assessment with Robina McCurdy and have a plan! We aldo had her run our first Edible Landscape workshop here recently, and will have more.
We have a large pond we would like to swim in eventually, and we are planning to generate our own power and put in water collection and greywater systems. We like the idea of making Biogas. Brendon is a very talented Engineer, and is itching to make stuff!
We are working with Wwoofers to transform our place
