About us

Gerry and Astrid love to travel.  Here they are in Gerry's homeland, Ireland.

Gerry and Astrid share a garden together in Manduarh, Western Australia. The couple are keen gardeners, they've been working towards greater food self reliance over the last couple of years. In late 2014 when living back together again after Astrid spent a year volunteering in Cambodia, they started to get really serious and significantly increased their production. The long term goal is to feed themselves from their garden, completely.  If they can’t grow it, have it gifted to them or trade for it they’ll use cash earned from their garden to purchase what they need.  This blog tells their story.

Cara, the wee hallion!
