(and a 2026 update) Our Journey I grew up farming and although I loved it, but I actually wanted a different career. I loved the outdoors and growing, but the financial instability I saw my parents go through, and the rural isolation I felt, was not appealing. Robin studied agriculture at university and fell in love with the idea of farming in Taiwan, where he saw small farms close to cities everywhere.

She's been a bit of a mess so.. last week, when I started this newsletter, my four year old was playing in the bath while I caught up on emails just outside the door (it was open). Suddenly he called out "mama" in a semi urgent tone. I jumped up and ran over as he held out a piece of the bathtub to me. I'm not sure how long it took me to register what happened but what seemed like a few seconds later Robin yelled up to me as I held my hand on the hole and pulled the plug.. bu

The greenhouses are positively vibrating with all the photosynthesizing that is happening in there! Plus we have thousands of feet of greens and herbs in the field we are still harvesting from. We're nearing the end of our growing season, which is a huge relief for this weary farm crew, but we still have weeks of harvest and washing ahead of us.
