I figured that I’d better put my money where my mouth is and actually start up the new blog. So here we are and here it is.
Twinny Acres. Yep, that’s what we’re calling the new place. It’s twenty acres after all and we are the Twinn family. It works.
So, as we develop what amounts to nearly empty pasture into an active, sustainable and hopefully profitable permaculture farm, I’ll keep you updated on the journey.
It’s exciting times here for us all and there are some days we work from dawn til dusk (hang on, we do that with the kids already) but other days, much like today, demand to be a down day. That means research and plan if you didn’t realise. No such thing as a day off here.
Anyway, welcome to Twinny Acres. Come join us on our journey.
