  Description

  I have a 10 acre property that is being transformed slowly but surely. I love food, both growing and cooking it, I have planted a subtropical food forest. Also stand of trees for firewood and planting the wet out with natives. The dam which I build last year is now ready for those summer swims. I have worked in many areas over my life from actor to cook, truck driver to gardener, all these things culminate in my current life.
