Spring Harvest Tour: Growing My Own Food in the Countryside

We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia Vanderbyl. A few years ago, we began a journey to live a life in perfect harmony with nature. A life of caring for animals, growing fruit, planting trees, gardening, cooking, creating, building and learning to live with the land.
In this time, nature has taught us more than we could have ever imagined.

Our environmental films document the landscape, the lessons we’ve learnt and our work as regenerative farmers here on Bundjalung Country.

We live on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal People of the Bundjalung Nation. 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.

Un cariñoso Saludo a Julia y Anastasia lindas Jovenes que han hecho historia con sus vida en el Campo.
Las he venido siguiendo sus videos desde pequeñas y las felicito por su naturalidad de sus vida y costumbres que es incomparable con la vida Ciudadana.
Yo tambien naci en el Campo donde mis Padres tenian gran cantidad de animales, ovejas y Cabras y me entretenía mucho cuidando las Ovejas y las Cabras.
Es muy linda la vida en el campo, pero en mi adolescencia tuve que irme a la Ciudad a Estudiar la Enseñanza Media.

Thank you for sharing. You are the calm warm moment of my days. It is getting so ugly here in America, it is nice to enjoy your calm, and beauty. It is nice to watch you living with nature, not trying to destroy it, like we do here.
