The Farm in Tassie

Submitted by craige on March 31, 2008 - 13:10

For those who've been out of the loop (and admittedly we've not been to good at communicating this ourselves) Kristina and I have bought 60 acres in Tassie along the Huon River :)

First rays of sunshine across the farm.

Consider it an early "retirement plan", that's probably the best description I can give you. It's a great property with many awesome features (such as four permanent springs). We've a range of plans for this place which I'll detail here as we go along and actually bring them to fruition. In the mean time, here a few happy snaps :)

Dude, you seem to be very well prepared for the inevitable zombie invasion. Kudos.

You obviously haven't seen Black Sheep...

Nice one Craige. Might I suggest establishing a cider apple orchard immediately?

Heya Rev :)

Everyone down here does apples and many are getting out of it. We will be putting up some apples though, as part of the permacutlure systems we'll be doing. Not enough for commercial quanities of cider but enough for friends who make the effort to come down ;)

PS: I'm also hoping to make whiskey too.......
