The Dirt in Spring 2021
Spring has definitely hit us, not just with amazing new growth, but with winds, rain, snow and more. That’s Spring in Tassie for you! What could be more in keeping with Spring than finding asparagus at the farmers markets again! These spears are from an SPP graduate – Phil and Lucy from @headlam farm asparagus. Looks so scrumptious!
The Dirt in Winter 2021
Winter is almost behind us, but as I sit here typing this message the mountain Kunanyi is blanketed in snow and we’ve had gale force winds across the state as the cold front has crossed our land. I sincerely hope all of you, your polytunnels, gardens, stock in the paddocks, lambs, chicken tractors and everything else has survived what Mother Nature has thrown at us.
The Dirt in Autumn 2021
After an opportunity to relax and reflect on the year of 2020, I am so excited to move forward and welcome what 2021 has to offer. I have personally witnessed a shift in people’s perception of food; local food, food security and seasonality. I have noticed conversations being had about whether to find local farmers, how to access locally grown, not buying food that is imported in the offseason, as well as growing their own food and composting. I love it!
