Sand Talk
Sand Talk makes me rethink the big things; work, spirituality, sending our kids to school, the nature of cities, my ongoing war with the blackberry down in the bottom paddock…

Seeing the rabbit
The other day Marg Alexandra from Hazeldean Forest Farm delivered a ute-load of early season Summer Reds to the Fair Food warehouse. We talked a bit about family, timber, the apple season (it’s looking good) but mostly about farm succession.

Wise Investing
In fields and backyards in and around Melbourne there’s a new crop of farmers sowing the seeds of organic and regenerative change.
Forestry in the city
Each year around Melbourne hundreds of trees simply die, come down in storms, are felled for safety reasons or removed to make way for new roads and housing.
