60 Years Off Grid: Summer Routines in the Jungle Food Forest

60 years living off grid in the Australian rainforest has taught us so much. After three generations we are still working hard to create a harmonic permaculture food forest. Join us on Patreon and support us to plant more trees and protect the earth   / motherthemountain   💚 This week we’ve been planting bananas and swimming in the creek, always guided by nature and those who came before us.
This video was filmed before the catastrophic floods and a lot has changed. It’s hard to look back at the times before the erosion, landslips and chaos - but we’re feeling so inspired to plant more trees and help to protect this land from more devastation. 🧡

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.
