  • Vetch winter cover crop...feed soil, control weeds. #vetch #covercrop #winter #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • We have twins!!! This occurs in 0.5% of cow pregnancies or 1 in 200 births. It looks as if their mother, White Face, has been cavorting with the bull next door. She’s a Red Poll cross Santa Gertrudis and he’s a Murray Grey. They certainly aren’t the British Speckled White that our bull is. Their names are Salt and Pepper. #cowsofinstagram #twins #cows #murraygrey #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • It’s good to have some rain come in. Our fans are almost completely recharged again and our water tanks are well and truly on their way too. After not really having a wet season this past year these rains are late but very welcome. #waterharvesting #levelsillspillway #rain #winter #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • The poly tunnel has been moved from above maincrop to the other side of the ridge where we will be concentrating our plant nursery efforts from here on in. #polytunnel #plantnursery #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Some Tokyo bekana going in the kitchen garden. We got these from The Channon Markets yesterday. It is Brassica rapa var. chinensis, a loose-heading celery cabbage like Chinese cabbages. First time I’ve seen these but they are supposedly mild tasting and a little sweeter than other mustard flavoured Brassicas. As always...looking forwards to a garden of greens to harvest. #tokyobekana #brassica #brassicarapa #chinensis #chinesecabbage #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Integrated animal systems...from cows in pasture (background) to chickens in maincrop (mid ground) to food growing crops (foreground). The cows on pasture gather and concentrate the pasture grass, fermenting it and adding an abundance of beneficial microbial activity carrying essential nitrogen and other elements. We gather their outputs 😉, and put it onto some freshly weeded beds that have been decompacted (rototilled if necessary or broadforked). We then add the chickens, who will kick it around and dig it in while de-pesting the area and adding their own manure. Then we reform the beds and plant our crops, mulched with some of that pasture grass that the cows help to maintain and keep healthy. It all works together...the animals, as part of living systems...to provide us with our food. High quality food is so important to our wellbeing. Our physical and mental health depends upon it. You can’t reduce the complexity of natural systems (by artificial chemical inputs and over mechanization dependent on unnatural vegetative formations) without reducing the nutritional content of food. If the industrialized food growing practices of the past century, and the toll on human health isn’t enough to convince you...what is? #integratedanimalsystems #chickens #cows #cowsofinstagram #chickensofinstagram #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • “A truly sustainable system produces more energy than it consumes, enough in surplus to maintain and replace the components of that system over their lifetime” Geoff Lawton #sustainability #design #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Zaytuna Farm Winter Tour has kicked off. First stop...top shed and the solar power system...CIGS panels (Copper Indium Gallium Selenium) , NiFe batteries, quality Victron inverter (you can tell by how much it weighs...that’s how much copper is in its coil), solar charge controller, back up generator and wiring. Get it right and you’ll take care of your needs. If you don’t, you’ll be dependent on outside energy sources. So you’ll need to match your desired consumption with your panel harvesting capacity (weather factors included) with your storage requirements, and wiring needs. Get an expert to help. We recommend Mike Hayden at @24hoursolarpower. #solar #NiFe #CIGSpanels #Victron #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Zaytuna Farm kitchen garden getting a makeover by the volunteers. Every now and again it comes time to pull most of it out and start again. We truly do appreciate the help of our volunteers who come from all over the world to be a part of the team and learn permaculture at Zaytuna. #kitchengarden #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
