We are teaching Good Heart Living™ this summer at the new farm in Parrawe overlooking the Tarkine Wilderness. We won't be teaching everything at this farm as we are still setting it up – lots of wild animals and plants, gardens going in, orchard being established, forest being replanted, etc but we can still teach a lot. After all we have done just about everything to do with self-sufficiency on previous farms and grown all our own food on the last farm. We know what we are doing. This is a great opportunity to learn how to do it from scratch. It’s just a great chance to see what is involved and if you would like to try and live this way.

Late Autumn Self-Sufficiency in NW Tassie

Around about now, if you've done it right and worked hard through summer and autumn, you should be feeling both smug and exhausted. The harvest is in. The seemingly endless supply of apples, potatoes and chestnuts are stored away. You're probably just about ready to put you feet up for a well deserved rest.
Not quite yet though. Made sure your brassica, onions and leeks are all transplanted for spring and early summer? Broad beans in? You should also have made a good start on getting as much firewood stacked and under cover as you can – it usually starts to come down hard towards the end of May, and you want dry wood. Then you can start shelling the beans and chestnuts indoors by the fire. It's a kind of rest. You deserve it.
There's something nice and secure about seeing food put aside for winter while you're warmed by the fire you cut and stacked the firewood for. This is a real life. This is the Good Life.
