20.01.2022 Giving Geoff the Chefs sourdough a test run this morning. Absolutely amazing! Helped along with poached eggs, warrigal greens and goats cheese. Easily the best bread available in Seymour. Check out Geoffs new product range at Kruckys Fine Foods #soughdough #poachedeggs #goseymour

17.01.2022 A wander around the blueberry patch has revealed some surprises today. Early bloomers, summer berries still hanging on & berries shocked to white!! #winter #blueberries #blueberrylove #colours #differentvarieties #blueberryfarm #smallfarm #nochemicals #pruningtime #blueberryhill #ruralbusiness #smallbusiness @ Blue Tongue Berries

16.01.2022 Egg-citing times at BTB. Our second goose egg. We have no idea if they are fertile. Were surprised amongst the goose relocation & familiarisation to a new home, theyve laid. Our two pairs are slowly settling in & getting used to their new digs. We havent named them yet, still in the early, getting-to-know-you phase. Lovely creatures. Fingers crossed for .

16.01.2022 Dam full! After one of the driest years on record last year, its such a joy to see our water supply back at full capacity. #dam #damfull #goseymour #discovermitchell

16.01.2022 Were devastated for Seymour FM 103.9. We love our community radio station. It supports so many organisations & shares so many local stories. If you have a spare few bucks please help. Thank you.

15.01.2022 There are some things we can still enjoy in life. The colours of late winter are glorious. #stopandsmelltheroses #hilllife #smallfarm #weekendvibes #lovelife #workfromhome #lifeworkbalance #sustainable #offgrid #neverboring #treechangers #spacetobreathe #spacetolive #gorural #slowliving #senseofplace #nature #livecountryvic #homegardenlove #homegardenflowers #melbournelockdown2020

15.01.2022 One little green head of pure perfection! Small delights on a glorious day in Central Victoria.

15.01.2022 Good morning. Love letting the geese out in the mornings & seeing them stretch out their wings.

15.01.2022 King parrot came for a visit this morning. Amazing to capture him in flight in our courtyard. Omen to another brilliant day ahead.

14.01.2022 These two spatulas started out the same. Obviously one has been favoured for all things . It’s a delight to see the increasing deep purple develop after every batch of tart, icecream, jam or chutney. Wooden spatulas made by local woodworker Vern. #spatula #stainedwood #blueberryhues #kitchenutensil #woodenspatula #bestkitchentool #favouritethings

13.01.2022 Everyday we follow the bouncing ball. #offgrid #solarpower #windpower #sunset #goseymour #discovermitchell

13.01.2022 Its National Tree Day so weve taken a walk around our little tree planting from 18 years ago. This was a bare hill when we started. Our babies have grown so tall. We also hugged an old yellow-box up the top of the hill that a DELWP officer estimated could be over 400 years old. #HugaTreeforNTD #hugatree #treeplanting #beautyinnature #treesofinstagram #tree #trees #hilllife #taungurungcountry #oldtrees #goseymour #discovermitchell

12.01.2022 Last night's walk amongst the blueberries was very calming after the big rain. The berries are starting to fill out. They are small pea sized now with just a hint of a purple colour starting to show. Exciting!!

12.01.2022 It was a great pleasure to be included in this mini series.

11.01.2022 The wind has finally abated on blueberry hill. It’s been a breezy few days in Central Victoria. Now the kookaburras can have a little chat & rest on our wind generator. This week we are closed until Monday. Anyone wishing to book after the 10th January please send us a message. We’re open again Thursday to Monday 11-3. #seasonalcafe #privatevent #bookingsessential #smallvenue #runbyowners #uniquespace

10.01.2022 Happy wattle day. May spring be joyous.

10.01.2022 It was great of The Weekly Times to check in on us & see how things are tracking in these challenging times. Weve had calls & lots of interest since the story came out on Wednesday. Thanks everyone for the support. Cynthia & Nick #goseymour #discovermitchell "A Seymour couple who have been living off the grid for the last two decades say it has prepared them well for the pandemic. Heres how."

10.01.2022 Glorious warm day today. The blueberries are going to pop soon.

09.01.2022 Date night again and tonight were off to Mexico. Handmade corn tortillas, braised beef, avo crema and the rest from the garden - limes, coriander, cabbage, spring onion and pickled jalapeos. Tequila martinis and prosecco to keep our spirits up. #taconight #handmade #homegrown #goseymour #discovermitchell

09.01.2022 A rewarding wander around this afternoon. Found an area full of chocolate lilies. So excited to stumble on these. #nativeplant #chocolatelily #springwalks #surprisesnearhome #smallflower #bigfind

09.01.2022 We finished pruning yesterday!! Yippee. The annual task is complete. Flash was very good company during the process. We cant imagine what life would be like without this demanding, yet charming, noisey, yet cuddly, needy, yet independent, little Jack Russell rascal. Always keeping us on our toes. #blueberries #pruning #winterwork #blueberrylove #blueberryfarm #smallfarm #nochemicals #handpick #handweed #blueberryhill #blueberrybliss #ruralbusiness #smallbusiness #jrt #jackrussellsofinstagram #adventuresofflash #jackrussellstyle #jackrusselllove #farmdoglife

07.01.2022 Peter Lockyer discusses passive solar house design for Sustainable House Day 2020, featuring the strawbale building he designed and built for Blue Tongue Berries which was completed in 2015. #sustainablehouseday #sustainablehouseday2020 #passivesolar #offgrid It’s been 5 years since we finished our strawbale building which has the combined use as a public space, accommodation, function venue, music hall and our home.... We just love the way it has performed over this time. The natural warmth that envelops you as soon as you enter is magical. The quiet and peace created by the thick straw walls and double glazed windows is so calming to all the senses. In summer it’s so cool and comfortable, without any mechanical cooling needed. Those uncomfortable sleepless Central Victorian summer nights are no longer. The winter doona is the same as the summer doona - before we built this house we thought this would never have been possible. The off-grid power system isn’t stressed by this building, they work happily in unison. The building is settling in now. The vines are growing, the surrounding garden is taking shape. The pleasure of the house throughout the seasons still amazes us and we couldn’t be happier with a beautiful and functional space. It’s a project of a lifetime that we believe was well worth it. We would like to thank Peter Lockyer for generously offering his time to create this video for Sustainable House Day.

04.01.2022 This mornings walk up & down the hill. Let the chooks & geese out into the sunshine & inspect the blueberries slowly emerging from dormancy. Flowers & leaves are starting to make an appearance. #springiscoming #wintergarden #blueberries #blueberrylove #blueberryfarm #smallfarm #nochemicals #handpick #handweed #blueberryhill #blueberrybliss #ruralbusiness #smallbusiness #goseymour #discovermitchell @ Blue Tongue Berries

04.01.2022 Its pruning time in the blueberries. Living the slow life & being our own boss, means we can choose what tasks to do on what days. Yay! It was terrible weather last week so indoor work was done. As soon as glorious, sunny winter days appear were outside, active & loving being surrounded in bird song & bathed in sunshine. #hilllife #smallfarm #diversityisthespiceoflife #lovelife #workfromhome #lifeworkbalance #sustainable #offgrid #neverboring #treechangers #spacetobreathe #spacetolive #gorural #slowliving #smallcommunity #senseofplace #nature #blueberries #blueberrylove #blueberryfarm #smallfarm #nochemicals #handpick #handweed #blueberryhill #blueberrybliss #ruralbusiness #smallbusiness

04.01.2022 The summer blueberries are almost here, but while we wait our small patch of raspberries and strawberries provides the goods for farmstay breakfast orders. This dish is Nick’s Rancho Granola with house-made yoghurt. #granola #yoghurt #raspberries #strawberries #goseymour #discovermitchell

04.01.2022 Send in the clouds... the mammatus clouds.

03.01.2022 Managed to squeeze in a wee walk around the farm between wickedly gusty cold winds. The gum on the cut branch was glistening bright red, from afar it looked so bright in the light. #naturebreak #trees #candlebanksia #rainbows #wattlegum #afternoonwanderings #winterdays #clearthehead #discovermitchell #livecountryvic
