Great opportunity to find out more about local happenings and chat with inspiring folk!

Here's one view of my workplace - makes me really appreciate sharing our little story & hear how others are growing. Thanks for the conversation on Saturday Gabrielle about the joys of different workplaces. #marketgarden #growlocal #eatyourgreens

Super low tech shade house protecting our little seedlings until we can get them all in. Worm farm staying low & out of direct light. High traffic area so they all get loads of love. #playoutside #marketgarden #seedlings #growfood

.(..being content with the small wins and getting through the day.) Pretty much most days seem like their potential is limitless. There's a never ending parade of incredible people doing amazing things and getting out there saving the world. I walk down the hill and wonder how I can save a few lemons. This tree you understand - is just in it's happy place, doing it's thing - growing quite remarkable lemons. [ 296 more words ] http://popesproduce.com/2018/09/26/small- and-slow-solutions/

Pretty sweet for a mornings work! Thanks to our little pollinating friends for the treat. #backyardbees #marketgardenpollinators #playoutside #balanceisthekey

Time to take a load off after an early start ....great day, gardens underway, new friends & new connections made, watering - pause, watch the grape grow - go again. #springenergy #playoutside #newgrowth #friyay

So this Friday night after a market run, egging kids at school into their groove, planting out a few trays of seedlings - this is where you'll find us after feasting at @earthwalkerco BBQ Fest. So can't wait! #staylocal #supportlocal #playoutside #growsomegood

Gifted indoor sunshine. My gorgeous husband knows I can't grow these - once the petals start to unfurl, punk cockatoos decapitate them. Learning to live with our feathered neighbours. Brightened my day. #chooseyourbattles #playoutside #sunflowers #randomactofkindness

So the other day I ran an incursion at an early childhood centre based on the concept of 'Seed to Salad Bowl'. The youngest ones rolled seeds around planted a few and nimble fingers plucked dill seed from the picnic rug. The next group up planted out their very own salad bowl in a salad spinner. For our final trick with the older kids in the centre, [ 187 more words ] http://popesproduce.com/2018/…/04/makin g-friends-with-salad/

When I grew up I wanted to be a florist (then I realised I'd be inside loads) These sweet delights are off to a local cafe & bar where to spread the joy. #lovemyjob #playoutside #edibleflowers

Windowsill wicking pots. Red Russian kale microgreens and popping corn started from seed purchased at our local co-op. #growfood #playwithyourfood #wickingpot #indoorgarden

A big thanks to all the fine folk attending the Earth Building workshop here at Popes Produce HQ over the weekend. Technique is something best practiced to get right and there's loads more bricks to practice with! Wheelbarrow is parked in what will be the bathroom. #earthbuilding #mudbrick #buildityourself #backyardwonderland

Beautiful & inspiring!

Made down the coast, he's a small section of the mudbrick a being delivered for our earthbuilding workshop this weekend! May still be a sneaky spot left & a work in kind place too. Get in touch if you're keen. #earthbuilding #mudbrick #buildityourself #backyardwonderland

Crazy waste when wholesale buyers are dictating what retail customers want. No need to genetically engineer food - we've just got to learn ow our food comes in many different delicious shapes and sizes.

As a lovely girlfriend posted the other day.. 'Reading can seriously damage your ignorance' So I try to do as much as possible and across a reasonably broad range, (as long as it has something to do with food.) If I could absorb them just by holding to book - woohoo!!! The question posed of late - what is healthy food? [ 176 more words ] http://popesproduce.com/…/08/21/what-is -healthy-food-anyway/
