Our Nourish Nest

Our Nourish Nest It’s about nourishing mind, body & spirit to be the best we all can be. It means giving as well as taking, and sharing.

At Our Nourish Nest an eco & sustainable lifestyle means taking really good care of ourselves, our friends, family, community, & Mother Earth, & giving as well as taking & sharing. For us at Our Nourish Nest a green, eco and sustainable lifestyle is about taking really good care of ourselves, our friends, family, community, and Mother Earth. It’s about nourishing the amazing mind, body and spirit

given to each of us, so we can all reach our full potential to be the best we can be, and support others to do the same. We’re truly passionate about some wonderful things… about quality real food, recycling, reclaiming and upcycling, waste reduction, especially plastic waste reduction, creativity, natural pest control to save wildlife, permaculture and organic gardening, supporting other fantastic small businesses, sustainability, filtered rainwater, solar power and more. We are careful with what we buy, our bin often doesn’t go out for collection for 6 weeks or more, we mend or alter our clothes when we can, and repair broken items, and use non or low-tox products around the home, from paint to pest control, food wraps to cookware that lasts a lifetime. We live our passion and share it on social media and in workshops. We’re especially passionate about real, good food, both nutritious and a little indulgent, but always top quality, as chemical free and seasonal as possible. We love growing it, cooking it, eating it, and making it available to others. We grow as much of our own fruit, vegetables and herbs as we can in quality soil, fed from our own composts and worm farms, using no chemical pesticides, and giving back to the earth. We savour the seasonal when it is fresh, available, abundant and affordable, and enjoy the traditionally preserved, dried and fermented, pickled fruits, vegetables, teas and spices created at the time when the fresh ingredients are full of goodness. Our life overall, and especially our low-tox life, based on permaculture and organic gardening principles, is a life that has nourished us and we are excited to share our experiences, knowledge, produce and products with you in workshops, through our online insights and open days, or via the wonderful products we sell.

We have a new resident gardener… a bandicoot! 🥰

These beautiful little native marsupials are doing it tough, with habitat destruction and introduced predators like foxes and feral cats making survival increasingly difficult. We recently discovered there’s a little colony just down the road, and sadly found one that had been killed.

So when we started noticing more and more little holes appearing in the garden, we figured something was up. Then, a few mornings ago at about 6am, we spotted one of our new residents doing a very speedy dash through the backyard. 😂

And the front garden? Well… it currently looks like a construction site! Apparently our new gardener takes their job VERY seriously. 😂

But honestly, we couldn’t be happier to have this beautiful little native choosing our garden as a safe place to forage and call home. ❤️

Of course, we know we’re incredibly lucky — and we like to think our little patch of habitat is helping. Our cats are safely indoors at night, we don’t use pesticides and herbicides, and we’ve worked hard to build healthy, living soil full of nutrients, worms and all the other good stuff that makes a garden thrive.

So yes, there are a few more holes than there used to be… but we’re pretty damn chuffed to have a bandicoot doing the gardening around here. 🥰

Welcome home, little mate. ❤️

What are your thoughts? Really interested to know.

We grow and preserve some of our own food and keep chickens, though many people don’t have that opportunity. During the COVID pandemic, we — along with many other communities — saw a huge rise in interest in buying local, supporting small growers and businesses, keeping chickens, and growing food at home, even if it was just herbs on balconies or vertical gardens.

Once the pandemic passed, though, it seemed that many people drifted back toward the convenience of supermarkets and complete reliance on established mainstream infrastructure. At the same time, many of the small cottage industries and local businesses that emerged during COVID struggled to survive, as convenience ultimately outweighed the momentum behind supporting local.

Are we headed for the same again, or even more challenging times in terms of food security? Have you given it thought? Do you have plans? Are you going with the flow, or taking proactive measures (not panic buying, but perhaps batch cooking, and freezing extra meals)?
