"Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems"
Bill Mollison
(Permaculture Co-Founder)
Nature is our teacher and has an abundance of knowledge to offer if we are willing to learn.
We're exploring tropical permaculture and really getting to know our land. Being located on the coast, growing can be challenging due to our sandy soils. But everything we do grow, is grown organically and in harmony with nature.
We are blessed with seven cashew tress which are naturally protected by red ants, although they can't stop the baboons and vervet monkeys who love the cashew apples! We have also successfully grown a variety of herbs, fruit and once we master the combination of soils, we hope to be growing a variety of vegetables too in a further step towards self-sufficiency.
