Farm Visit - 2016

We recently had a farm visit organised by the Port Elizabeth Permaculture Group. This video gives a good idea of the event,

Octagonal Chicken House at Shimmering Farm

My sister Lindi has been a great inspiration to me. Many of the projects I dream of for Pabblespring Farm have come out of long early morning coffee chats with Lindi at here beautiful home in the cool forest of South Africa's southern coast. 

The chicken house and garden that surrounds it have been productive for almost 10 years now. 

Have a look. 

I tried as best as possible to capture this productive place on video. 

Mohair Project at Shimmering Farm

I have slaughtered a goat once, but have never kept them for their wool. My sister Lind has a lovely wool project that I thought I would share with you.
