A Secret Path: Finding Purpose in an Ordinary Life

This week we’ve been getting muddy building ponds, preserving food from the garden, sewing and practicing embroidery on our antique Singer that Anastasia fixed last week. But the most special moment of these winter days was hiking up high in the rainforest mountains where it feels like a magical fairyland! These moments in nature, hiking and swimming on a cliff-face, seeing a rainbow spreading through a waterfall, and watching each sunset are awe-inspiring. They make us appreciate everything and we carry them with us in our everyday tasks.

We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia — caring for a regenerative farm on Bundjalung Country on the East Coast of Australia. We have a dream to build a self sustainable future and regenerate the land for generations to come. Join us as we learn to build, farm, garden, and care for the animals and land.

We live and farm on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal people of the Bundjalung Nation and these practices of regenerative living, agriculture and permaculture owe their roots and theories to Indigenous knowledge — they have been practiced by Indigenous People around the world for so many years. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on, and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial.
