One Acre Farmer with Brett Cooper and Morag Gamble
About this episode
In this episode of Sense-Making in a Changing World, I am excited to share with you my conversation with one-acre permaculture farmer, Brett Cooper from Limestone Permaculture in Stroud, NSW.
Brett and his family moved from the city and busy full time jobs and health issues to this country property. They now source their entire income from their beautifully designed small-scale permaculture farm with 11 sources of income - including food, courses, tours, accommodation, consulting and very importantly - the gift economy.
Listen in & be inspired by the transition story Brett shares. It is such a wonderful story - motivating, uplifting and enabling!
