One Acre Farmer with Brett Cooper and Morag Gamble

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!You can also Limestone Permaculture on Youtube - made by Happen Films.And check out these links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LimestonePermaculture/Simply Homesteading Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SimplyHomesteading.NiciYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/user/0zDigga/videosInstagram: @limestone_permacultureYou can also catch the youtube version of this conversation here.________________________________Download this list of 10 of Morag's favourite books.Morag's 4 part introduction to permaculture video series.________________________________FIND OUT MORE ABOUT PERMACULTUREJoin me to learn more about permaculture.
