Life on My Farm (Recommended)

Thanks to Farm Blogs reader Robert for tipping me off to this one. Looks great. Well worth a visit.

Life on My Farm.

'A blog of my journey from horticulturist and horse pasture keeper (aka barn queen), to organic, local produce farmer, or agriculturist to be more formal, at Eden's Garden. A new branch of my life unfolding. A new organic, local, urban CSA farm is in the making - to the delight of locavores - folks seeking healthy, fresh, natural and local eating, in DFW.'

Daylesford Organics (Victoria, Australia) Self-recommender

Kate and Brendon wrote to me about their farm and blog and I'm happy to include it, not least of all because it's a fine blog, but also because they provided me with some text to use in profiling their blog, permission to use up to five photos from their blog and recommended their favourite blogs. (I usually ask for 5, they sent me 2, but who's counting? Well, me actually; I do like 5 new ones but as my wife is Australian, special dispensation.)

If you'd like to self-recommend, please do so on the above conditions. People who don't do this, I'm afraid I won't be able to profile and add to the blog roll because the whole idea of this blog is that bloggers (good ones) recommend other (hopefully better) ones.

P.S Having a problem uploading photos which I will get round to fixing sometime in this decade.

Over to Kate:

We are a Certified Organic mixed family farm in Daylesford Victoria. We focus on sustainability and biodiversity. We have orchards, market gardens, ducks and chickens. We work with the seasons and in any given year will produce up to 40 varieties of apples, hazelnuts, berries, free range eggs and up to 30 different vegetables often with several varieties of each. We enjoy growing heirloom varieties with lots of different flavours and colours as you can see by our carrots on the banner. We sell produce to local cafés and restaurants and at farmer's markets.

Can you recommend yourself?

That's the question asked by Kate at Daylesford Organics.

Can you recommend yourself?

The answer to that is a strict and definite rule which is:

NO!! YOU CAN'T.

But as I'm not much of a believer in small rules of no importance and because Kate asked me this question about five years ago and I've only just replied and because I can't stand the whole concept of blog etiquette, what the heck?

Is the world going to end? No.

So Kate, consider yourself recommended.

HOWEVER - I will be deeply upset if you do not send me a brief email recommending your five favourite farm blogs - their full names, urls, what they're about and why you like them (in a sentence or two and where they are).

Because the idea of this blog is organic growth - recommended people in turn recommend others.

And finally, you must be one of the 2 people to buy my book referred to in the following self-serving post. Actually that last request is optional.

ONWARDS!
