"Hello Roxy, (late in reply, but...) we are in Orini which is about 10 mins from Gordonton. My favourite things to grow usually grow themselves. As I get busy and neglect my garden, I am thankful for the silverbeet, the mustard greens, the miners…"

Self Sufficiency - The Dream
A lot of people have the dream of a few acres of land and self reliance (as opposed to self -sufficiency, which is a myth!).
