Description
We are on a lifestyle block, slowly to turn it into an orchard, once its done we are hoping to donate most of the food back to the community or people who needs the most but we are in the very early stage of the process.
We have three kids and currently have a pet dog 'Lulu' (sleeps inside the house during the night), a pet duck 'Duckem', cows, geese and chickens.
We try to eat as clean and healthy as possible as our kids had food allergies and intolerances but we do cheat sometimes. We are also eco-friendly family, our sewage system is a natural process system therefore we can`t use any strong products/chemicals.
