wwoofing farwell

We have had the opportunity to have a wonderful fella stay with us three times during this last 6 months. Fermin - our Mexican wwoofer who arrived from working in Italy for the last few years as a professional chef.  

He was a serious delight to have around. The first one to chuck on his gumboots when we arrive home from anything. The kids adored him. He was easygoing and cheerful everyday.  And everything he put his hand to in the kitchen became magical.  He has just left us for the last time as he flies away back home (via a few international stops...) to start his own business back in Mexico.  He has a dream of having a farm/restaurant. We know he'll be successful with whatever he does because of his infectious happy personality.

Farwell Fermin! The Paul Family wishes you well, and we wish we could bottle you up and keep you for our own!

They grow up quickly!

We've had a couple of new shops hop on the Bath Milk train...

Welcome Superfruit Organics!  We know you are busting to get some of our Eggs in the shop too - and we have good news... We have collected one teeny tiny egg from those new young ladies that are to be in full swing production by the end of April.  This is what they looked like not toooo long ago!

Might be because of these super-duper amazing warm breezy autumn days that we're having here at Fish Creek (with a splash of rain thrown in!)

Happy Days from the Paul Family...

...plus one - we're having another baby! (The final instalment to the Paul Family!)

healthy living

Let's face it - there's a plethora of what I like to call "opinion" about what a healthy lifestyle involves out there.

Do you want to know what changed our lives?  The comprehensive work done by the late Weston A Price.  Finally something made sense to us on a nutritional level and we could not unlearn what we discovered.

Let's face it - how much is out there telling us to eat this and do that - all based on rubbish research and commodity based financial gains - meaning "hey guys - we can grow this stuff cheaply - how many ways can we bastardise it and force it down the throats of the planet?"  -- so much of what we are fed in this modern world is based on "cheap" production -- but if there is more investigation done - cheap is only a mindset.  -- in the end it is expensive.  We pay for it with our health and our planet.

Weston Price was able to study multiple "untouched" communities around the world that had not yet been subjected to the modern diets of the western world.  His findings are fascinating and fundamentally sound.  He documented the health and lifespan of all of the members of these communities - which are absolutely life changing to read about.

The Weston A Price Foundation has continued his work by teaching the world of traditional food - and challenging the "diet dictocrats" that are the supposedly experts of nutrition.

Trust me - you can't unlearn this stuff.  Check it out for yourself.
