About The Event
42 Acres is a regenerative estate, nature reserve, and retreat centre running on 100% renewable energy. Our vision is to live and work in harmony with nature, self and others.
We aim to leave everything we touch in better shape than we found it. We use our deepest intuition, accumulated tools and shared knowledge to explore ways of living and working that nurture and regenerate our sacred world.
Our “soil to gut” food philosophy is designed as a blueprint for how we can grow, forage and eat food in a way that is nourishing for the body and kind to the planet. As stewards of the land, we work with the earth, leaving the planet healthier for generations to come.
On this guided tour you'll visit:
● our regenerative produce garden.
● our walled edible, ornamental garden
● our micro, outdoor mushroom farm where we use ancient techniques to produce nutrient-dense medicinal and edible mushrooms, including cultivating our native strains.
● our sacred bee garden with both wild and locally-raised honey bees.
● our “edible hedging”.
● our nut trees
● Tiny Wild Kitchen
We’ll also share insights into the deeper dive experiences that we offer, including foraging, fungi & wild mushroom cultivation, no-dig vegetable growing, bee experiences, agroforestry and artisan preserving of wild and cultivated foods and medicinals.
You’re welcome to stay after the tour for lunch and continuing conversation around the fire. If so, please bring a packed lunch
We’ll be outdoors and walking at a leisurely pace but sometimes over muddy/rough ground - so please wear suitable clothes and shoes.
