25.01.2022 Found someone to help me in the garden today whilst Michael was off at school on a public holiday, Aurora sewing in the house and Josh partying with friends in Hobart. Sir Esmeralda (my fury garden gnome) was wonderful company eating the flower heads of the plantain, not talking to much and providing entertaining frolics. Apricots galore and zucchini’s of all shapes colours and sizes. #rabbits #bunnys #gardening #growyourown #organic #Biodynamic

25.01.2022 Early winter flowers shades of blue and purple - borage, cornflowers, lavenders and salvias and raddichio.

23.01.2022 Apple cider is coming along nicely. #agrariankitchen #livinggentlyontheearth #biodynamics #organics #applecider

23.01.2022 My favourite Packham pears first bottling with More to come. Its a challenge between our family and the parrots and there being enough for all. The crop is shared between our family, our resident padymelons and the local mountain parrots. Blessed with such abundance to be able to share and keep our little friends fed too.

22.01.2022 Finally an answer to what I’ve been looking for

22.01.2022 A little play in the kitchen tonight - chargrilled melanzane e peperoni lasagna to take away for dinner tomorrow night. Hopefully if will feed the six of us with a huge salad and a bootle of my favourite wine 2020 pinot grigio - delizioso #italianfood #wogfood #agrariankitchen #holidays #derwentestate

22.01.2022 Focaccia making just for fun. A little too windy to do my other favourite thing today so it’s cooking and #Biodynamic #growyourown #agrariankitchen #wogfood #foccaciabread

21.01.2022 We are looking for an honest, reliable person who loves animals to care for Maktub Biodynamic Farm whilst we are in Melbourne for Christmas. The gardens will need watering and tending to. Sir Esmeralda (rabbit), Raucous and Petal (Cockatiels) and the chooks will need feeding and water, the wild birds, lizards, snakes and assorted wildlife will need fresh water too. There will be an abundance of veggies, herbs and berries to feast on. Please message me if interested. Likely dates will be 23 28 December.

20.01.2022 Apple and Cinnamon flat fruit drying on the wood fire. #agrariankitchen #biodynamic #organic #eatwelltasmania #freshfromthegarden

17.01.2022 Blew the oven door open last night! Havent laughed so much in ages.

Oven cleaning today #organic #paddocktoplate #agrariankitchen #eatwelltasmania #cookingathome #ovens

16.01.2022 Lovely day with the bees today. Putting a small strip of foundation on the bars for the top bar hive and a spring check of my other hive. An initiation bee sting just under by eye. #bees #biodynamicbeekeeping #beeblessings #smellslikehoney

15.01.2022 Today we celebrate International Bee Day. Our gardens at Maktub Farm are constantly evolving as a sanctuary for bees in honour of the honey bee who brings sunshine into our home as honey .

15.01.2022 First racking of the cider today

15.01.2022 This lovely sheep was born here on Maktub Farm. We have shorn her, her fleece has been washed, carded and spun. The skeins died by @The Lucky Ewe the blue knitted into a gorgeous jumper for Josh the natural colours a jumper for Michael and the pink an old fashioned cardigan for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch

14.01.2022 New mini bathroom finishing touches. Just love the dunny with its wall mounted cistern and put chain. Took for ever to find it. Love Aurora Materia’s touch with the greenery. #livinginthepast #dinkimdunnies #cistern #pullchain

13.01.2022 Sunflower Celebration

12.01.2022 Aurora Materia has produced this short film of her latest artistic creation during her COVID 19 quarantine. It is quite stunning a pure wool blanket woven as a collection of individual pieces on a a tapestry loom and then sewn together. The sheep were born and raised here at Maktub Biodynamic Farm, shorn, and their fleece spun and then woven. #wool #weaving #COVID19 #Isolation #weaving #luckyewe #VCA #Art #artist... https://www.youtube.com/watch

12.01.2022 Gotta love it when your chillies make into Hobart’s hottest cocktail bar as a Mezcal Margie.

11.01.2022 Tonights kitchen play. Cornish pasties and leek and potatoe soup. A warming meal for a cold evening after a busy day in the garden. #pasties #donttastelikenannas #eatwelltasmania #Agrariankitchen #freshfromthegarden #organic

09.01.2022 Didn’t as good when it came out of the oven. Definitely needed more basil

09.01.2022 The spring gardens are slowly taking shape thanks to the wonderful Margaret Bowling and Andrew Driscall. Some veggies are in, heaps of random flowers, herbs and grasses. Native birds nesting - thornbill and wrens. Chooks Ruth chicks and bees very busy. #biodynamics #biodynamiccompost #paddocktoplate #italianfood #gardeninglife #sustainableliving #bees #agrariankitchen

09.01.2022 Aurora Materias beautiful weaving from our sheeps wool. Its now stitched as a blanket for the coming winter. So creative.

08.01.2022 We still have some beautiful pure bred lavender Araucana roosters and barnevelder/bantam roosters in need of some hens to hang out with. They have been raised Maktub Biodynamic Farm. $10 each

08.01.2022 A little bit of argy bargy in the vegetable garden this afternoon. #biodynamic #livinggentlyontheearth #chooks #backyardpoultry #nativebirds #parrots

08.01.2022 I have eggs and some delicious Manzano chillies available - bio-dynamically produce. The Manzano has a moderate to hot citrusy fruitiness. Absoultely delicious. Please message for details and I can leave at gate for you. Eggs $8.00 per dozen Chillies $1.00 each

08.01.2022 A beautiful bunch of Aconitum napellus flowers, also known as Monks Hood or Aconite. Used as wonderful homeopathic remedy for acute conditions with sudden onset and great intensity, rapidly developing infections after exposure to a wind, a fright or shock, extremely violent and even life-threatening. Illness that causes fever - "Heat, with thirst; hard, full and frequent pulse, anxious impatience, inappeasable, beside himself, tossing about with agony. Also anxiety and fea...r All these paint the picture of Aconite. #medicinalplants #homeopathy #homeopathicmedicine #biodynamic #medicinalgarden

07.01.2022 Thanks Aurora Materia for the picture. I like it

07.01.2022 What do you do when youre at a loss as to what to do?? Tiramisu. Made with fine Chocolate from Nutpatch Chocolates, organic Mascarpone from Elgaar Farm, Loving Earth raw Organic Cacao Powder, Salvoiardi, Maidenii Materia Medica Dry Vermouth and of course our Biodynamic eggs... Thanks to Aurora Materia for the lovely photo <3

07.01.2022 Managed some in time the garden after a lovely day at the @biodynamicstasmania AGM then the Judbury Market and Community Centre. Delicious picnic on the banks of the river and gentle contemplative walk along the river in its spring glory and the bonus of finding a wonderful old homeopathic book. Beautiful light on the Woodbridge Hill and the chooks enjoying a late afternoon scratch under the wisteria in full bloom. I love the lavender Araucana matching the wisteria.

07.01.2022 What do you do with lovely home grown lemons??? Limoncello of course using Tractor Materias recipe. Trators LImoncello is the best in the world. The difference between his and mine will be his secret access to 100% proof alcohol. #Italianheritage #Limoncello #organic #biodynamic #eatwelltasmania #homemade

07.01.2022 Morries in so fresh fish and chips for dinner. #fastfood #eatlocal #fishandchips #lowfoodmiles #eatwelltasmania

06.01.2022 Tonights kitchen play time. Home made butter. Hand churned in a lovely @kilner butter churner given to me as a present by my youngest sister @bridget Materia. Pictures show the churn, butter milk and butter which is now being pressed to remove the last of the buttermilk

04.01.2022 Bottling apple cider tonight. Sadly in plastic bottles because I dont have any glass ones. Josh Materia suggests thats probably a good thing because they might explode!. Has anyone got any clean tonic water bottles Rosie Ottevanger?

03.01.2022 Spent a lovely day yesterday Fat Pig Farm getting some inspiration for exciting new beginnings at Maktub

03.01.2022 Another addition a gorgeous hand knitted vest from our lovely fleece. Thanks Trena Jackson its gorgeous

02.01.2022 Michael discovered this little Brown Thornbill sitting on eggs. #nativebirds #thornbill #tasmanianbirds

01.01.2022 Friday night pizza night. Drizzled with Bagdad Hills Vineyards extra virgin olive oil and Served with a Derwent Estate Wines Pinot Gris.

01.01.2022 Limoncello finally ready to drink. A traditional Southern Italian liqueur. Tastes okay but certainly not quite as flavoursome and smooth as Tractor Materias probably because its only 80% proof and his is more

01.01.2022 World Naked Gardening Day. A little chilly in the gardens.
