Hey Cultivate fam!
Been quiet here lately - long story, short… I hit complete burnout. Took myself off to a trauma and burnout retreat in Thailand (spent my 40th alone there too! In a remote Thai mountain village). What I learned? You can’t cultivate anything beautiful when you’re running on empty. Sometimes you need to let the field lie fallow. After, I met my family in Bali for new years and spent some quality time together, enjoying life and healing.
I’m back now, just the other day, slowly returning with better boundaries and a deeper understanding of what sustainable growth means. Still a work in progress, with some major life changes and challenges ahead in 2026, but stronger and clearer about what matters.
Mangoes are growing (smaller crop this year), honey coming in about a month. Sorry for being MIA - never my intention!
The best part of this stall has been the amazing community and friendships. Now I’m dreaming again, my original vision- all organic and eventually bio-dynamic food and meat, dehydrated and freeze dried goodies, honey products, plants, maybe little community library, regular get-togethers, a community garden, even accommodation/camping spots? The world’s our oyster! 😁🤔
What would make YOUR heart sing? What are you yearning for in this community? What’s your dream your vision?
2026 is about cultivating not just food and fruit, but community and friendship too - the food of the soul!! And more importantly Sharing Yah’s (God) love through everything we grow and do.
Looking forward to what this year has in store and sharing it with all of you….
Love Always,
Krystal (4.0 - new and improved 😍)
