David I too will miss reading your blog. Sounds like things have been tough and disheartening for you lately. Hang in there if you can. Celebrate what you have achieved, revise expectations and then decide on what will be best for your family. I faced a similar situation with my 5 year old business recently, and then ten days before the final deadline (before the chop) things started to turn around. Better times may be ahead for you too. The impact you have had is not always visible. Good luck!

My grandmother left her lawyer bridge playiing husband for a warm loving man after a 30 years of suffering ( one child diabetic, another died at 12 ) they bought an island off Whangaroa North Island NZ. I spent time there no electricity, a boat we picked up supplies every 2 weeks, i chopped wood to heat the wood fired stove, plucked chickens to cook ate goose eggs for breakfast and ran around naked as a 5 year old, these experiences will never leave me.

David: It has been a pleasure for me to follow your adventures on the farm. Please do not get discouraged by the hurdles. You are one of the very few people that have sincerely attempted to balance the modern material world, with a traditional way of respecting and living with the land. I wish you and your family all the best - and I know that next time I am back in Oz, I will be visiting your farmer's market.

I think I've found an easier way. I strive for a level of self sufficiency right in town. No foxes,so the chooks free range and put themselves to bed when i'm home late or forget. I garden in the 2 of the unused chook runs. Chooks run in the third. ,so any vegs that I manage to produce are safe. Other plants that I don't want the chooks to scratch out sit safely in bottomless bird cages from the tip. Once a month I swap produce with neighbours .The whole thing is very sociable,loosen up a bit

sounds like you need a maremma, they will probably help with birds as well as foxes if you start them young and encourage bird scaring....possibly even emus :).....ours does all this and rabbits and feral cats, there are a few reputable breeders over your way :)

Yeah I'm in a similar space- pigs, cattle, chooks etc No little luxuries like make up, new undies etc. Scavenging at the rear of grocery stores for free animal feed... However the upside is a lot of what we eat I know is safer and tastes better than what I can buy and I will never spend more than $40 a week on food. Recently started working on local vegie and spud farms and come home each day with 2nds that feed the animals and some money to pay the big bills with so its all a lot easier.

David, having read your articles, I can't help but notice a somewhat defeatist tone to your posts. I try and maintain self sufficiency to some degree and manage quite successfully whilst still running a business and bringing up a six month old. It seamed that every post had a negative tone and maybe you would be better off staying in the city.

Hot Tips
Vanilla extract
Be careful to choose vanilla extract that is labeled as "pure" as opposed to the synthetic varieties. Vanilla essence is a stronger version of vanilla extract and only a couple of drops are required for a similar result.
Glossary
Green Mango
Any unripe mango, used mainly raw - in salads and side dishes. It has a more tart taste than ripe mangoes.
