Collectively nurturing a New Eden

We believe in being the change we wish to see and leading by example. To achieve this we see a need to develop working examples of regenerative farming or other land based businesses.

It's time to get serious and reorientate agricultural practices towards a more sustainable and resilient path if we want to avoid destroying the ecosystem we depend on for our health and wealth.

Without working examples to emulate and evidence of financial success most land users tend to stick with what they know, doing more of what they've always done. For the most part these mainstream, extractive, heavily mechanised, technologically complex, chemically intensive approaches lead to ecosystem degradation and intensifying simply makes the problems worse, faster.

In the short to medium term the project can act as an educational model and inspiration to seed whole systems design methodology. This can also be seen as a local, ethical and low risk 'investment' opportunity where the original starting capital is grown and multiplied organically using natural processes.

Development goals and time line

The envisioned duration for this project is 5 - 8 years from land purchase to resale. Over this time there will be a number of clearly defined steps and processes to work through to ensure we create a resilient, attractive, naturally abundant self supporting system.

Since discovering permaculture in 2010 I have been actively researching and applying these techniques to create a 1.5 hectare lifestyle food forest garden. This work in progress has clearly demonstrated the regenerative power of carefully guided natural systems, the value of permanent perennial tree crops and thoughtful water management.

This project is a way to take what I have learnt to the next level by scaling up and extending out to reach a wider audience.
The prospect of rescuing and rehabilitating larger areas of the rural landscape is exciting and I see this as the great work of our time, to re-imagine our relationship with the earth by shifting our approach from extractive to reciprocal.

I would love for you to join me, share your energy, financial capital or whatever you have. Keep signing petitions if you must but lets make our actions count, right here, right now.
