We spent over 10 years (2013-2022) regenerative farming to help the land's soil heal/regenerate and to provide the food the animals needed, natural plants.  Now without the cows, pigs and hens, I am leaving the land up to nature. 

​

I believe that farm land today is mostly over farmed and that affects the soil negatively.  The soil becomes tough to grow on and needs more and often is given human intervention in a way that is faster and more aggressive than nature naturally regenerates. 

 

I predict that my soil will continue to regenerate and it will attract new plants, animals, insects, worms, birds and other life to my land.  I will be watching and listening to the changes nature will be bringing us and let her guide the way.  In my childhood this would be seen as abandoning the land because that was the intent.  I am not intentionally abandoning my land.  I am intentionally healing/regenerating her for me later in life and my next generation.  It all depends how nature progresses.  During this process,  I want to observe and gain knowledge and wisdom and intervene when I believe I should.

​

Currently I have left hay bales on the 1 of 4 paddocks where my late husband had left them after haying. In the beginning of the decaying process small animals like rabbits where using them for shade.  Now they seem to be there for the soil to drink in the nutrients and fibres.

 

I have been enjoying the new nature on all the land that has shown up the last years and it has reminded me of where we came from.  The land was dry and dusty and we had deer and fox cross our property and never stay.  We had racoons, possums, and skunks that would stay until we made them go because of the kids. 

 

Here are listings of the new nature we have witnessed so far from 2023 until present.
