Life's Better on the Farm

Life's Better on the Farm

@lifesbetteronthefarm

We have ditched the city and moved to our farm. Join us in experiencing the joy, challenges, and simple pleasures of rural living. Farm animals, fires, floods and droughts; rainforests, sheds and machines; native flora, fauna and food forests; biodiversity, syntropic and regenerative farming all feature in the backdrop as we work off-grid to build an eco-farmstay for discerning guests. Subscribe now to follow our journey to a better life.
