Daily Life in the Rainforest: A Wonderful Journey to Live in Perfect Harmony with Nature

We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia — caring for a regenerative farm on Bundjalung Country on the East Coast of Australia. We have a dream to build a self sustainable future and regenerate the land for generations to come. Join us as we learn to build, farm, garden, and care for the animals and land.

We live and farm on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal people of the Bundjalung Nation and these practices of regenerative living, agriculture and permaculture owe their roots and theories to Indigenous knowledge — they have been practiced by Indigenous People around the world for so many years. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on, and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial.

Seeing you two skipping down the path with goats running behind you always makes me smile. Your videos get better and better.😊 Your life sharing brings out a range of emotions. Thank you

Another exceptional video. I loved seeing all three of you (mother & 2 daughters) in this production. The scenery, music, and the commentary blend perfectly to elicit such an exquisite sense of peace and harmony with nature. I love the ducks; we always had ducks on our little property in Buderim on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in S E QLD. I’m an old bloke now but as I said on the first of your videos I ever watched; “You are living the dream”. Don’t lose your dreams. My father’s generation left the land and became small businessmen, shopkeepers, and the like. My generation then moved further from our farming roots to become nurses, teachers, and scientists. I became a neuroscientist and palaeontologist. I’m now retired and am reviewing my own family’s life and development. Your videos stir such yearnings for my past heritage. Thank you so very much to all involved in your enterprise. Long may it not only endure but expand it’s influence. God bless you 🤗🙏🤠🤗🌹

Beautiful countryside.
Boiled & roasted jackfruit seeds are the best. The closest thing to chestnuts in the tropics.

I'm a 63 year old guy from a town close to Toronto Ontario Canada. I love nature in my small suburban yard and town. Trying to keep my 25 year old daughter, who lives in the city, to be interested in nature and growing things. Love everything in your videos. Keep the joy💕

[farmerjones]

Thank you girls for sharing your deeply beautiful life. In this crazy and scary world you remind this old farmer in his fifties what life is truly about and how it should be lived. I have daughters your ages and wish your kind of life for them. I got a hardened heart from a hard life but I always tear up watching your lives. It brings back a bit of softness to me. Your Grandfather would be proud. Thank you again.
