We'll cover everything from pasture-raised eggs and sustainable livestock management to permaculture design and soil health. We'll also dive into direct-to-consumer sales and farm-to-table cooking. Whether you’re a seasoned farmer, a backyard gardener, or just curious about where your food comes from, our podcast is for anyone interested in regenerative agriculture, rural living, and creating a more sustainable future.

  • Sustainable Farming: A Radical Journey
    Aug 4 2025

    Join us as we explore the journey of a regenerative farmer and her family, who work at a Big 4 Consulting company to build a self-sufficient farm. Learn how they transformed a degraded piece of land into a thriving business, rooted in permaculture and regenerative farming principles.

    Discover the unique business principles they've implemented:

    • Bootstrapping: The family incrementally funds new ventures using profits from previous ones, avoiding external investment to maintain control of their brand and home. This approach allowed them to start small and scale from there.
    • Diversification: Following a principle from the tech industry, they avoid putting all their eggs in one basket by developing multiple income streams, including camping, pasture-raised eggs, honey, and soaps.
    • Community and Technology: The farm leverages technology like AI-enabled cameras and an independent wireless network for safety and efficiency. They also utilise a booking platform called HipCamp to manage their camping business. The family supports the local community by helping a neurodivergent coding club, sponsoring the local footy club, and hiring local people for jobs they don't want to do themselves.

    Find out how this family navigates challenges like bushfire management, a failed goat venture, and the ever-present demands of farm life, all while staying true to their values of sustainability and community. Tune in for an inspiring story of slow, calculated growth and a passion for changing the world, one small piece of Western Australia at a time.
