We are very lucky in Freshwater Creek to experience the four season’s in all of their glory. We have the space to watch our landscape change month by month. If you’re interested in seeing the happenings on our little farm, read our seasonal diaries.

Here’s a recipe from one of our neighbours who regularly drops by for fresh meat.

Simple spaghetti bolognese.
