Towards Sustainability The journal of an Australian family of five, baby-stepping their way to a simpler, more sustainable future in suburbia.
Our journey to self-sufficiency on 4 acres in Central Florida. We have two dairy cows, chickens, citrus and other fruit trees, and a groing vegetable garden.
I'm a stranger in a very strange land, and together, my husband and I are turning a neglected suburban plot of land into a fruitful & nourishing place to call home. Stick around and see what we do with this home & garden adventure, gone Down Under.
