Hi, I’m Tash
At the end of 2024, my husband Benji and I bought 45 acres in northern NSW. I was in my fifties, our three kids had grown into adults, and I wanted to start a new chapter.
It wasn’t my first time on the land. When our children were small, we spent five years on a little farm in Victoria. I never forgot how it felt to grow our food, fill the pantry and make things with my own hands. This time, I wanted to build a whole life around it.
Now I grow, preserve and cook from scratch here on the farm. Bread, yoghurt, miso, preserved lemons, jam, a proper meat pie: the things most of us usually buy, made by hand. Benji is usually nearby, waiting for me to say “Hey, taste this.”
I’ve always believed it’s not what you acquire, it’s who you become. This farm is where I’m becoming her.
What you’ll find here:
Better Homemade recipes: my favourite store-bought foods, made from scratch on the farm.
Christmas gifts: Benji’s farm photography prints, and a weekend stay at the farm.
Kitchen Staples: my book of homemade staples and what I cook with them, coming soon.
If you’re at the start of your own new chapter, looking for something slower and more real for yourself, you’re in the right place. Pull up a chair.
