Today I had the pleasure of visiting Daylesford Organics.
It was lovely to see and hang with special Kate, and two of her gorgeous children- I think I want to kidnap Indi.
But the reason I was there was I was taking part in the Farm Tour Bren is running of the farm. It was totally wonderful, inspiring and excellent beyond words. I loved hearing more about the farming and I guess natural way the farm goes about things. We heard about how their chickens live the life of the gods, and met Bingo one of the "chicken" dogs who does a stellar job protecting them ( also very friendly), heard about his truly organic approach to the market garden and orchards, to the importance of feeding the soil and how to make excellent compost. We also got to taste some of the delicious produce, literally plucked from the earth.
(sorry about my lack of pics of anything other than chickens - you know how I love chickens-, I felt like a nong pulling my camera out after a while and just wanted to listen and take it in)
Bren is both so passionate about the farm and what they do and I always find people's love for things inspiring. It really was a priveledge. I can't enthuse about it enough, or recommend it highly enough. There is another farm tour next weekend, so if you can make it, it's a lovely day /afternoon outing.
thanks so much Bren and Kate and Indi and Pepper!

Yay! Thanks so much Jess, it was such a pleasure for us to have you here too. Indi wants to let you know that she thinks Kumkwat is obsessed with her guitar and likes to swing on the handle of the case. I hope you have a relaxing a warm Sunday. X
