Bush Edge Homesteading Australia
Join our family, on our property in the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria, Australia, where we have lived for over 15 years, as we share how we garden, harvest, preserve (canning, dehydrating, freezing, etc), ferment, solar cook, produce our own energy (biogas and solar), raise livestock, and much more.
We’re passionate about sharing on the skills and knowledge we've gained over the years, as others have shared with us along the way.
Please remember: While we share our experiences and the methods we use, it's important to ensure that whatever you do is safe and suited to your own circumstances. Always do your own research to gather all the information you need to make informed decisions.
