25.01.2022 Life on the Land episode 3 has just landed into your favourite podcast app, and it is another beautiful episode. We are back this week with Graziher host @skye_manson. Our third guest is Annabelle Hickson author, pecan farmer and soon to be publisher with her new project @galah.press launching later this year. Annabelle also graced the front cover of our Winter issue (on sale for 1 more week!). Annabelle isn’t your average country girl, in fact, even though she’s writ...ten extensively about her life on the land she still feels like a foreigner travelling to another wonderful planet. She's lived in Moree and now on a farm near Tenterfield in northern New South Wales for almost a decade with her husband Ed and three children and continues to be astonished by her life, lifestyle and the people within it. Her story is about learning the worth of simple things, harnessing ambition and that sometimes a big house in the country isn’t what’s going to make you happy. We loved this conversation with Annabelle as she’s so open and honest about highs and lows in her move to the country, and life on the land. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. To listen, head here https://open.spotify.com/episode/5AaGGPNlOm8eRQfZCvZ57x We have been LOVING seeing where and when you are listening to the podcast keep tagging us in your screenshots and we will share them.

25.01.2022 Recent times have felt surreal. A tapestry woven with juxtaposition; grief stitched with the copper thread of unexpected joys. Loneliness patched with community. A collective spirit, sewn with aptitude and reinvention, embroidered with the delicate retreat from the constant doing. A new normal, seen through a rural lens. Writer Emily Herbert, @emily_herbert_writes, weaves together just some of the extraordinary stories contributed by the Graziher community, drawn from pocke...ts of bush across the country. ... I’m always struck by the talking in country communities. Yarns struck up in stores, standing in lines. Connection spun like gossamer, easy as breathing. Waiting at the supermarket checkout recently, a small commotion erupted. An elderly man had forgotten his wallet. He was appalled with himself. Go home, love. I’ll keep your groceries waiting, the lady behind the counter said, as he patted down his pockets with a worried expression. I thought I’d spare him the trip and tapped my card against the EFTPOS - a mere 15 bucks. He was horrified. I assured him life worked in swings and roundabouts. He took his bags and waited out front. We chatted. He’d been married for more than 50 years - had been grieving his wife for a year. He told me he’d give me a hug, if it weren’t for this, Damn thing going around. That we’d all be fine, if we could hold on to our commonalities, rather than our differences. Nearly an hour later, we said our farewells. My motto in life? Rush slowly, he chuckled, as he shuffled off. There hasn’t been much rushing for most, of late. Perhaps a welcome reprieve from the relentless pace - the glorification of busy. For some, though, the silence pooling in corners has been too much. ... This is an excerpt from the story. "Connection in Isolation", published in our Winter print magazine, now on sale.

24.01.2022 Welcome to, A Day in the Life Of a new series where we bring you a Graziher Girl and what it is like to live a day in her life. We’ll be dropping these videos in the next few weeks in partnership with our new podcast series, Life on the Land. Both podcast and video series are bringing you real and raw stories of women from rural and regional Australia. Up first is Grace McLeod @gmac90, a young farmer from Western Victoria. If you fancy a McLeod's Daughters joke she's... already beat you to it - often seen on horseback with her three working dogs never far behind she lives her own version of Drovers Run every day. Grace is currently managing her family's two properties which straddle the Victorian and the South Australian border with around 6,000 acres of arable and 2,000 acres of grazing for just under 3,500 head of sheep. It's been a busy 3 years since Grace came back to work on the farm full time. To tie in with this series and our new podcast, Life on the Land, we have released an episode with Grace’s story this morning. The episode touches on a vast array of topics from mental ill-health, the challenges of isolation on the farm, this year - compounded by COVID-19 and properties by a state border to the importance of travel beyond the farm gate to gain new perspectives. To listen, head to your favourite podcast app and search Graziher. This video was produced by Hamish Siddins and this video was made in partnership with Just Country Australia Grace is dress in shirts and jeans from the Just Country Australia range. A Graziher’s day often starts early and can be full of hard, exhausting and rewarding work and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Just Country offers gear for out here, designed to keep up with the demands of life on the land, whether that’s Graziers, broadacre or hobby farmers through to rural community groups and committees. Established in 1995, Just Country has spent many years perfecting the fit and durability of its range of workshirts, which are available in a huge assortment of colours, from classic blue to pops of brightcolours and a more recent range of fun patterned workshirts.

It's fitting that Julie McDonald is our first guest for the Life on the Land podcast. Her story is extraordinary, but many of the challenges and triumphs she's lived through, run parallel to the experience of other women all over rural and regional Australia.... For Julie, her story is about falling in love; a life on the land; her husband Zanda, her four daughters; being CFO of one of Australia largest privately owned, beef enterprises, McDonald Holdings and so many more things. Sadly life was to become unhinged seven years ago, when Zanda, passed away after a farming accident on their cattle property 75 kilometres south of Cloncurry in Queensland.

19.01.2022 Good morning Graziher’s! Today our final episode in our first season of Life on the Land has landed in your favourite podcast app. In our last conversation for Season One, join host Skye Manson chat to today’s guest, Claire Austin, on all things spring in the garden. Claire is also our in-house garden guru check out her Spring Kitchen Garden in the new Spring magazine. All over the country people are throwing open their windows allowing the sweet Spring air to infiltrate -... homes and minds and awaken our senses. In most parts of the country it’s a wonderful season, worth celebrating. There are still parts of the country that are dry and dusty, insipid almost and we are thinking of you. Today’s guest, Claire, has lived through that and it was during times of drought especially that her wonderful homegrown gardening community became all the more important. She started the Gin Gin Garden Club as a way to glean tricks from local green thumbs about gardening in a harsher climate. Now it’s become so much more than that, a welcoming community for other young local women to come together and foster their own patches of nature, an online store and even reason to take part in Graziher’s Spring Edition’s cover shoot amongst a sea of blossom. Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7yGdcjeBAHXX7yPBxmFqXo Thank you to our sponsor - Rural Financial Counselling Service NSW Southern Region. We’ll be back in your ears with season Two of the podcast in a few weeks, and until then, you can get your Graziher fix by picking up a copy of the latest issue of Graziher or you can subscribe by visiting our website.

18.01.2022 A new week, a new Monday and a new Graziher podcast episode out this morning! On today’s episode, host @skye_manson interviews the outrageous fun-fashionista, Fiona Baird, @appletreeflat_nz For many years now, New Zealand born Fi has been bringing fun, fashion and a feverishly hard work ethic to her work as a stock woman on live export shipments from Australia throughout all of South East Asia. Her story is so unique because she doesn’t allow the grit and grime of working ...with animals all day, dampen her style standards of well done hair and strong red lipstick. But it wasn’t always about live export for Fi, she’s lived a colourful life, with a few stops and starts since her childhood days on a farm in the south island of New Zealand. We started by asking her on reflection how she feel about the path she's led so far. You can read more about her story and see more of these beautiful images of her in the Spring Edition on sale now in your local stockist. To listen head here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2YoE5g7yN0daW4GcnZC4ui Thank you to this week's sponsor @blundstoneau And thank you so much for your warm welcome of this new podcast. We are beyond stoked about how it's been received. If you like this episode or any others we would love it if you shared it with a friend and if your listening on apple podcasts a rating and a review is still the best way for new people to discover these wonderful stories. We’ll be back in your ears next week with our another episode of Life on The Land. Photography by @sallybattphotography

14.01.2022 It's fair to say that 2020 has been a tough year for most, certainly an extraordinary year like we’ve never seen before. On today’s podcast, our guest is young dairy farmer Tahlia McSwain from Busselton in south west Western Australia it’s been a shocker of a year. Earlier this year she took a job as a stockwoman, escorting sheep and cattle on a live export vessel. She’d done it before and she should have been home the family dairy farm within a matter of weeks. But things we...nt wrong. Complications with COVID 19 which are still unclear to Tahlia saw herself and the crew onboard stranded on the vessel unexpected for 170 days. This took Tahlia to the depths of her mental strength to get through the days. But it doesn't end there, shortly after she finally arrived back home in Western Australia, one of the crew members tested positive to COVID 19 whipping up a West Australian media frenzy. Also while on board she lost some of her colleagues in a nightmarish tragedy when the live export vessel they were working on capsized in the south china sea. The good news is that she’s at home now - and in a weird way - almost back to normal life. This is her story. Thank you to the Sponsor for this episode @pharmonline_au a new start up business based in Walcha new South Wales. Our host on today’s episode is also our producer! The talented @skye_manson.

12.01.2022 HOW TO MAKE: LAMB SHANK PIES Presenting you (as promised) the recipe for Lamb Shank Pies as featured in our Winter Graziher magazine, contributed by Graziher food writer @theshadybaker Lamb shanks are an ideal base for winter food and when cooked slowly, the meat almost melts into this rich sauce. Enclosed in golden pastry, it is hard to resist a homemade pie on a cold day.... Notes for this recipe: - Substitute lamb shanks for any other diced lamb. - Substitute homemade pastry for store-bought frozen puff pastry. - This recipe can be made over two days. Make the filling on the first day, refrigerate overnight, and then assemble the pies the following day.

09.01.2022 Love in a time of Corona, words by @emily_herbert_writes We were married on a windy mid-week afternoon in the midst of a global pandemic. The aisle was a mown path through the blonde grass of the paddock out the front of my parents’ house. A simple structure, built out of roughly hewn timber, served as our chapel. Its sides were woven with gum. Swathes of linen pursed and billowed from the corners - painting sheets bought from Bunnings the day before. The wind whipped the ...skirts of my sisters, who stood at a distance, their hair backlit by the sun. That stormy light, particular to Australia, slanted across the faces of my mother and father in law, who had set off from their Welsh home two months prior to attend their son’s Australian wedding. It was meant to be a round-the-world trip that skipped across Patagonia, Easter Island, Vanuatu, New Zealand, here and then on to Nepal, but it stuttered to a halt in Australia - landing in a far different world to that from which they set off. When preparing for your big day, contingencies in the country might include bushfires, storms and perhaps the odd flood, but a virus sweeping the world doesn’t often cross your mind. How naïve. Preparations on my family’s little farm outside Tamworth for 200 guests had been going on for months. Mum referred to herself as Mother of the Bride, with unrivalled dedication. My grandparents turned up many a week, arms laden with foliage, helping Mum coax the garden into the best shape of its life. The heavens had opened and the verdant countryside, after years of drought, seemed confirmation that it was all meant to be. Aunts and uncles and cousins showed up, pulling down fences, erecting new ones. Neighbours arrived with champagne, brimming with excitement for the first wedding in the next generation of my community. The village that helped raise me, turning out in force to help press the seal of a new chapter."

08.01.2022 Life on the Land episode 4 has just landed into your favourite podcast app, and it is another beautiful episode. We're back this week with Graziher host @emily_herbert_writes Today’s guest is Georgie Mattschoss, @farmlifemumwife, a mum and farmer from South Australia. What a rollercoaster Georgia has ridden. A series of unforeseen circumstances have thrown some serious curveballs at Georgia over the last decade and her story, which she shares with @emily_herbert_writes, is ul...timately one of survival and triumph through some pretty dark times. A defining moment in Georgia’s life was in 2011, when her dad was tragically killed in a farming accident, something that Georgia and her family continue to grapple with up to this day. This episode has some language which isn’t suitable for little ears, and deals with the aftermath of a bushfire and mental ill health.

08.01.2022 New podcast episode, out in your podcast app this morning! For this beautiful and raw episode, our host, @skye_manson, interviews our fifth guest Christine Ferguson @lifeinthemulga, on the love and the wisdom of life's harsh realities. Christine humbly refers to herself as a farmer, living mostly in central west NSW but between there and two properties in the far western corner New South Wales with her partner, affectionately know as the Ginga Ninja and she has two grown... children living in Canberra and Adelaide. But her story is remarkable Christine has always had a deep love for the land and for animals and her drive to have her own farm and be amongst the natural world has seen her face some huge adversities. She hasn’t escaped these events unharmed but she just loves the wisdom that comes from getting older and living life labelling it one big beautiful mess. This podcast talks about some challenging issues including Domestic Violence. If this raises anything for you, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14. Thank you to our sponsor for this episode RB Sellers.

05.01.2022 My husband’s grandmother, Isabel, was called "Do" by her children because she did. Or, at least - that’s what I was told. More recently I found out that "Do" was short for "Dooley", a politician whom she resembled, but I choose to remember her for the doing. To me, she embodied a bush woman, right down to the... the concerned sigh she released when confronted with my city-bred fluffiness. She was reserved, with a tender smile and a strength at odds with her age. Sometimes, I got the feeling that only half of her was listening to our conversation over a cup of tea and her freshly made jam drops. The other half was in a paddock somewhere being useful. When I first met her, she was in her late seventies. She carried a pair of gloves in the glovebox and a hammer in the boot of her Toyota Camry. If she ever came across a kangaroo or emu that had been maimed but not killed by a passing vehicle, she would pull over, take the gloves from the glovebox and slide them on her sturdy fingers. With a swift blow, she would put the animal out of its misery and then drag it off the road into the long grass. Hopping back in the car, she would remark, What will the tourists think of us? To her, the bloodied corpse was proof of certain negligence. Like so many farming wives of that time, she cooked a roast lamb each day for lunch. She darned woollen socks, made prize-winning marmalades, ironed the priest’s vestments and home-schooled her children. Yet the doing that inspired her nickname was not confined to domestic.

03.01.2022 New podcast episode alert! Catch up on our latest episode in your Graziher Life on the Land feed now. Elisha Parker wears all the hats. From a school of the air childhood, where afternoon’s meant sticky hands from the molasses feed run in the 90’s drought to riding bikes, chasing birds and starting mini-businesses, there emerged a girl with a quite confidence landing her as a lawyer, an ag-tech innovator and an exciting new advocate with an inimitable spark, that’s ...hard to extinguish. Even in the wee hours of the early morning, while soothing sleepless babies, Elisha is excited about the opportunity to spend time not catching up on sleep but working!! Elisha is from Clermont in Central Queensland. Daytime means working full time as a lawyer. Night-times mean fine-tuning her innovative website www.cattlesales.com.au which she co-founded in 2015. There’s also two young children in the mix and a handful of other community projects to mention the fact that she’s the QLD finalist for the Agrifutures Rural Women of the Year award this year. So what is the perfect childhood recipe to produce such a go-getter of women?

02.01.2022 Another episode of Life on the Land, our Graziher podcast has just been released. On today’s episode, we’re back with our host Emily Herbert @emily_herbert_writes, who caught up with Shanna Whan creator and founder of @sober_in_the_country for a real and raw conversation. Alcohol is considered by many the social lubricant of rural life. We knock off with a beer, celebrate and commiserate with a bevvy and mix a drink with every event, from the footy final to the country races.... We often think of alcoholism as swigging out of a brown paper in broad daylight. But there’s an insidious reality that is far more common than we realise that of a high functioning, professional who looks and sounds like us, but reaches for the bottle behind closed doors. Shanna Whan was one of these people. The CEO and founder of registered charity, Sober in the Country, Shan is now a national face for advocacy. She’s fit, healthy and happy but six-years ago, life looked a lot different. Living in Narrabri with her husband Tim and her blue heeler, Fleabag, she moved to Australia from Zimbabwe when she was just six-years old, her family fleeing from civil unrest. Hear her story on Life On The Land today.

02.01.2022 Our final podcast episode for 2020 is out this morning, and we’re hoping it will bring some Christmas cheer to anyone who has and is being affected with the weekend travel restrictions/boarder closure news. With Christmas just around the corner, (you can count the number of sleeps on one hand), our host and producer Skye Manson has put together this collection of country Christmas stories. Christmas is such a personal time - and one where family rituals shine through year a...fter year. For this episode we’ve been lucky enough to gain an insight into how some of our Graziher contributors and friends of Graziher like to spend their Christmas with what’s on the menu, how long they’ve been preparing for and how they manage to keep their food fresh and any special family rituals they may have. Thanks to Jane Smith aka The Shady Baker, Claire Mactaggart, Cara Peek, Robbie Sefton and Sophie Hansen for sharing their Christmas stories.

02.01.2022 New podcast episode alert! Catch up on our newest episode in your Graziher Life on the Land feed now. If you haven't grown up on the land the foray into rural life is often closely followed by a the feeling of isolation, being separated from your people and different from your normal environment where everything you knew was familiar and ordered. Isolation is definitely not unique to the bush it’s a challenge that so many mothers in rural Australia have experienced. Stepha...nie Trethewey is one of them and she’s making much of it. Her podcast, Motherland, interviewing ordinary and extraordinary rural Mum’s has had over 110,000 downloads. Her new vocation is not what Steph ever imagined , she was born in Sydney and with a career as a TV reporter she had not a thought for a life on the land. But on a quiet news day while working in Queensland, she interviewed her now husband Sam Tretheway and thought he was kinda cute and the rest is history. This is her story! Thank you to our Series Sponsor Blundstone Australia. Stephanie has also written a piece for the Autumn edition of Graziher which is on sale now at your local stockists or at Coles (for the next 2 weeks)!

01.01.2022 New week and new podcast episode! On today’s episode our host emily_herbert_writes is joined by the founder and face behind e-commerce giant Birdsnest with Jane Cay The name Jane Cay is synonymous with trailblazing success. The mum of three is the founder of Birdsnest, the little Cooma shop which has turned into a digital commerce giant, turning over $25 million a year. With nearly 150 staff, the accolades have rolled in. Jane has been named number one in the Top 50 pe...ople in E-Commerce, and Birdsnest has been named the fourth best place to work in Australia. The business also now boasts nine in-house brands. All this, while raising her kids alongside husband Oli, on their Merino property 65-kilometres outside Cooma. Yet on March 16, 2020, everything was tumbling down. It’s a day seared into Jane’s memory as one where the store was receiving more packages returned than what they were sending out.
