Hello everyone . Wow . It has been amazing to feel your support in many ways . Im completely blown away , humbled and grateful for the generosity people have shown . A lot from people I haven't met directly and from many who I am lucky to have as friends . And of course the anonymous among you .To quote Liam neesam " I don't know who you are but I will find you and I will give you a big hug and yummy vegies , I have a very unique set of skills that make me a nightmare for chemical and pharmaceutical companies"... ha ha .

Thankyou from the bottom of my heart . Thankyou for the kind words , supportive messages and the generous financial help , this has all been a huge lift to help us get back on our path . It has shown and reinforced that we do have communities .
We do care and support those that are striving for a different path for our health and well being and for the healing of our planet so that us and our children have the opportunity of a fulfilled vibrant life .
For those that have had those conversations with me will know that's what drives me so intently . We are at a time where we need action in a better direction , concerted , consistent and with a positive loving intent . For me that is what your support shows me and reinforces what I know to be true . Change is inevitable , how we want that to look is up to us . We have to be the change we wish to see .

So we are starting to plant this week and plans are in place when we can afford to install some basic row covers to protect some plots from future events , along with other plans to help us be more resilient to major events . My aim is to be able to repay your support through our awesome produce and also ensure we can keep giving to oz harvest and others that need a helping hand . We also want to be able to pay forward and foster other micro farmers or entrepreneurs who are working for higher values to help change the future for the better .

Thankyou everyone🙏👨‍🌾❤️😊
Love and gratitude
Rob .

Hello everyone ,
As you may know we had most of our garden destroyed by the hail storm that came through Wolvi . We are only just beginning this quest to create a regenerative holistic nutritious food system so we are moving on with learning the lessons nature has provided and starting the task of clean up and replanting .
We will be continuing to supply our veggie boxes in the interim utilising even more of our local growers until we are back on our feet . That is an important part of a resilient system 👨‍🌾 . We are committed to the best ethical quality we can find and we are lucky to have access to great produce , nutritious , super fresh , ethically grown and mostly local .

On a reflective note , It is very humbling to see thriving vibrant plants and life decimated in a few moments by natures awesome energy . It is a reminder of the cycle of life and the acceptance and acknowledgement that we are a tiny ( although equally important ) part of a greater life force .
It is also very humbling and encouraging to receive the immense amount of good will and support especially now . Many offers of help to replant and with the purchase of plants , messages of support and encouragement .. it has been very uplifting . Thank you from the bottom of my heart .

Our very dear friends Chelsey and Sam from Ample Organics set up a gofundme page to help us fund the replanting of our garden and get life going again in the garden . You can just click on the link or feelfreetosgarewoth friends. Any support is greatly appreciated, kind words heartfelt support and encouragement is very welcome . It lifts our spirits so Thankyou .. 🙏😊
We have already made plans of how we can reduce the damage done in future and will be implementing that as soon as we can . It's very important part of our values to be able to be resilient and adapt to the natural changes and extremes of nature . This is true sustainability .
Thankyou once again for your continued support .
Rob and family ..

Before and after.... Our friend and local farmer Robert Craig has been working hard this past couple of years to build up Cooloola Eco Farm. He has a great love and connection to the land, and a strongly held belief that local regenerative farming of nutritionally optimal food is an absolute ne...

Happy new year to everyone . 😊Thankyou ver much for your support in our first year . There's been a lot of progress made amongst the challenges and we're excited to be gearing up for another year of growing .

As you will know the weather at this time of year is challenging so we have a limited supply of vegies available but are still trickling what we can out there . Our stall is open but limited due to the weather so there is mainly occasional treats like these beautiful local Bowen chemical free mangoes from our friends in the Mary valley . Special stall prices only $1 ea . and these are local and no nasty chemicals .

The sun is back and the vegies are bouncing back after a lot of stress on them over the last few weeks .
I'm down at the black ant cafe in kin kin with your freshly picked this morning Vegie box . I have a couple spare too so if you're on the way thru between 3pm and 4pm come try out a box . Be great to see you .
