  Description

  We are a family of 4 living on 45 acres on the scenic north west coast of Tasmania with mountain and sea views. We are passionate about organic, biodynamic farming and self sufficiency, growing all our own meat, vegetables and fruit. We also homeschool our 8 year old son as well as a 9 month old baby girl.
