Exploring Sustainable Farming with Jade Miles from Black Barn Farm

In this week’s captivating episode, we delve into the fascinating
world of sustainable farming with author and co-founder of Black
Barn Farm, Jade Miles.


Black Barn Farm, is a biodiverse orchard, nursery and workshop
space in north east Victoria which is a magnet for visitors to
learn about permaculture, homesteading, as well as to
pick-their-own from some of the 98 varieties of heritage fruit
and berries. 


Jade's journey from urban living to becoming a passionate
advocate for regenerative agriculture is a true inspiration. A
renowned sustainable farmer and environmental activist, with a
background in ecology and a deep love for the earth, Jade,
alongside her partner Charles Showers, embarked on a
life-changing adventure to establish Black Barn Farm, a thriving
hub for regenerative farming practices. Her commitment to ethical
and sustainable agriculture has earned her recognition in the
field.


Jade is part of a growing wave of women keen to arm themselves
with skills like farming, composting, making and mending, and
pickling and preserving. Just as the Covid-19 lockdown and its
closure of supermarkets and limited food supplies were a call to
arms for amateur sourdough bakers, Miles and her cohort were
inspired by impending climate change, like the 2020 summer
bushfires, to become more self-sufficient and less reliant on
material and consumer culture.


Join us for an enlightening conversation with Jade Miles, as we
uncover the secrets of sustainable farming and its vital role in
creating a healthier planet. 


Lots of love,


Dave & Steve
