We’re Josh and Chloe—building a hands-on life on the Fleurieu Peninsula, raising friendly Boer goats, growing seasonal cut flowers and learning to live more self-sufficiently as we go.

Josh is a sixth-generation vegetable farmer while Chloe’s a former city-slicker who now runs the flower patch and flies drones for work. Between us, we’ve built a small farm that’s practical, hard-working and always evolving.

We reuse what we’ve got, grow our own hay and keep bees to help pollinate the garden. The space, the work and the satisfaction of producing what we need—it’s a lifestyle that makes sense to us. Whether it’s fresh flowers heading to local cafés or goats heading off to new homes, everything here has a purpose.

We don’t claim to have it all figured out—but we’re always learning and we share the honest, behind-the-scenes stuff on the blog. If you’re curious about small-scale farming, raising animals or just getting more hands-on with how you live—we’re happy to have you here.
