  • This plum variety Geoff thinks is a Florida Gold. It is thriving here in the subtropics at Zaytuna with very little care and attention now that it is established. It is of course surrounded by support tree species and other productive species, including another plum as a pollinator for this one. No artificial fertilization, pesticides and even watering. Even though we are in drought, this tree is producing an abundance of amazingly sweet plums (when allowed to ripen naturally, in the sun, on the tree, and then fall to the ground) that are free of insect pests. The idea that we need to grow our food with poison including artificial fertilizers was created and promulgated after the world wars when the manufacturers of chemical weapons and explosives needed to repurpose their wares into the market place. Now we have poisoned foods and soils, degenerating landscapes, and disease ridden bodies. It’s not rocket science. You have to decide what industries to support. Organic, biodynamic and regenerative agriculture such as Permaculture teaches is the only sane way forward for health and planet. #Harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable

  • We made a delivery of raw and fresh hard boiled eggs and zucchini’s from our farm today to the fire fighters monitoring the fires above us up Terania Creek Rd. They have 4-5 person teams around the clock on 4 hour shifts watching for tree fall and flare ups. Ebony and Heady in the kitchen, support base set up at the Channon Hall, are doing amazing work preparing meals and delivering them to the teams. Other donations have come in the form of drinks, eskies, ice etc. Our eggs will go into sandwiches, and zucchini’s into frittatas and quiche for the crews. Permaculture involves people care and the sharing of surplus. We really appreciate the efforts of our underfunded firefighters. Thank you guys and gals. 🙏🏼💚 #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Plums from the Zaytuna Farm food forest. These have not received any artificial fertilization, protection by pesticides or pumped up with water...because we are in drought. Great water harvesting design, along with relevant windbreak and shading, has enabled the farm to hold water in the soils even though the place is dry as a chip. This is the Mediterranean food forest area and these plums are all picked up from the ground, perfectly ripe and pest free. The flavour of these poison-free plums are indescribable, but your body knows by how thrilled it feels, when you eat them. #plums #mediterranean #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Our carrots coming along nicely... You can pull one of these fresh from the ground, wipe off the soil and be left with a tasty and nutritious probiotic hit with every bite. Don’t underestimate the feeding of your microbiome people. It is the seat of your health and power. It keeps everything within you in balance, just as compost does to the living soil we apply it to. It’s the healthy ecosystem of microbiota that keep everything balanced. That means a life lived happy, healthy and strong. #carrots #daucuscarota #carrotsofinstagram #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Nothing like fresh beats from your own garden. These are Early Wonder variety I believe. The satisfaction of bringing these into your kitchen after growing them from seed and lovingly tending to them is palpable. It makes you realize where real value lies. High quality food and connection to Nature. The illusion of the disconnected world of commerce once you realize this feels harsh, heavy and unfulfilling. Of course you will never know unless you can give up the addiction to the artificial world. It’s safety is surface deep...true safety lies in real skills and knowledge. Roisin, one of our volunteers, is pretty proud of the success...team effort 😉 #beetroot #earlywonder #Harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Our new horse riding arena with a freshly mined sandstone base from the Zaytuna Farm property. These are two of our permaculture horses. Shardia, the Arabian mare (large pony) getting some gentle bareback riding and Jax, a rescued and repurposed performance thoroughbred, going through some warm ups. They help to maintain the length of the grasses in our laneways and we get their manure for our compost. #horsesofinstagram #thoroughbred #pony #arabian #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • A pollarded tipuana tipu tree makes an excellent living trellis for the dragon fruit vine, all the while doing its job as a nitrogen fixing support tree species in our subtropical food forest. From the family Cactaceae, you get the pitaya or pitahaya fruit. These are actually two different cactus species indigenous to the Americas. Pitaya usually refers to fruit of the genus Stenocereus, while pitahaya or dragon fruit refers to fruit of the genus Hylocereus. They will only fruit on a stem that is hanging down so you need to be able to provide a support for them to climb and then hang from if you want to eat this amazing fruit. There you go 😉 #tipuanatipu #dragonfruit #pollarding #pitaya #pitahaya #cactaceae #stenocereus #hylocereus #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • “We need to completely rethink our relationship between energy and the living world and the ecosystem services provided that allow for our existence. Coexistence is only possible through an ethical design science approach, which can provide all humanities needs while facilitating an ever increasingly life rich abundant world. Until we realize this is not only smart but the essential and intimate energy planning approach, we will be continually failing.” Geoff Lawton In other words, you can’t exceed the power of Life. If we work outside it’s capacity to repair, recover and regenerate we will invite destruction where our intentions were otherwise. This applies not only to the land and seas from which we draw our sustenance, but to our bodies as well. All ecosystems obey the law, only human ignorance and greed push us beyond it towards collapse. #Harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
