Bio-Intensive One Acre Farming with Brett Cooper 

"We feel there has been an ‘awakening’ across our beautiful country, self reliance is on the rise again, urban & rural homesteading has people taking their food & energy supply back into their own hands. You can live a more natural, healthy & happier life, regardless of your home location or job type."

The talk will include details of Brett & Nici's extremely productive property (Limestone Permaculture Farm) including:

• Full farm design, including a market garden, kitchen garden & intensive orchard / food forest on swales
  
• Animal management of poultry, sheep & goats
  
• Farmgate set-up
  
• European & native bee keeping
  
• Native bush foods 
  
• Seed saving & propagation
  
• Purpose built structures 
  
• Farm fresh nutritious wholefood cooking

To explain how they achieve their intensive gardening so effectively, he will also explain the importance of:

• Composting, manure teas & soil health
  
• Limestone methods of No-dig & Sheet mulching
  
• Seasonal plant selection & succession’
  
• Planting in ‘Guilds’ for intensive stacked vegetables & herbs
