The aim of our permaculture project is to:

 

(a) Eat well through growing our own organic vegies, eggs & chicken. Supplement this with wild rabbit and goat from the Tyack farm at Borenore and purchase raw materials that we can not produce ourselves.

 

(b) Reduce our ecological footprint  by living in town to reduce transport, minimize purchased food which are intensively farmed and transported, minimize energy & water usage in our home.

 

(c)Enjoy the financial, social & health benefits of being more self-sufficient while still being responsible for our own economic present & future. These benefits include more time as a family and active in the community, less debt, less exposure to economic shifts, more freedom and a closer attachment to nature.

 

(d) Educate our selves and our children to be better custodians of the earth and members of society through self-reliance and planning.
