A week of getting things sorted

Our Becoming More Self Sufficient course officially began last weekend, and what a start it was!

Across three different locations and classes, I had the privilege of sharing our knowledge with over 30 enthusiastic people.

It’s always encouraging to see how many are eager to grow more of their own food and become a little more independent.

At the end of September, we move into Module 2: Growing Your Own Seedlings.

A few spots are still available both here at the Barn and in Warrnambool – check out the webpage for more info and booking details.

This week the weather kept us mostly under shelter, which meant catching up on those behind-the-scenes jobs.

The greenhouse is all set to fill with trays of seedlings, and even our potting-up nook got a well-needed overhaul.

Everything looks so neat and tidy – now the real test will be keeping it that way as things get busy!

Meanwhile, preparations are underway for our next Patch to Plate dinner on Saturday 13 September.

With generous support from Look Over the Farm Gate, tickets are just $20.

The menu is shaping up to be a hearty feast: Creamy carrot & apricot beef strips served with mash or Spätzle, a seasonal salad buffet, and sticky date pudding for dessert. Be sure to book soon – seats are filling.

And of course, the Barn will be open tomorrow from 11–5.

The fire will be going and the kitchen ready to serve:

Coffee & Cake

Mashed Potato with a Mini Meatloaf

Veggie Soup & Bread

Come along, warm up, and enjoy a relaxed day with us.
