nuts, vegetables as well as poultry, cereals & bees
• Processing equipment for value-adding & to retain
control of carbon and nutrient-rich ’waste’ on the
property.

(willing workers on organic farms) model
• Education enterprise which offers PDCs, short courses
and tours. • Employs 5 staff

environmentally sustainable way, producing healthy
food and a healthy income.
To share information and skills for land
management, self reliance, conservation and food
production with other people.
To be a rich and beautiful place to live, to work and
to raise children with balance, wisdom and skills.

Farmers need to be good neighbours
Perception
• Scrutiny
• Fear
• Sprays
• Smells
• Lack of knowledge
• Preconceived ideas
![Page 16: Lessons from a peri- urban certified organic, permaculture ... · Lessons from a peri- urban certified organic, permaculture farm ... waste for fertilising orchards and cropping land](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040612/5edc0697ad6a402d666683a4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
And urbanites need to eat good food
• Protection of farm land within cities
• Protection of peri-urban farm land
• Character bills (maintaining rural areas)
• ‘Right to farm legislation’
• Nutrient cycling
• Access to waste water from cities
