This is the sort of important information we believe everyone who wants to eat well and naturally needs to be aware of

Citrus growers are trying to popularise mandarins with green tinges, but say shoppers have come to expect a perfect glossy orange colour created by gas treatments.

I have just finished reading this thought provoking book that so aligns with our vision and purpose here at Soil2Soul . As the cover states it truly is a “Radical vision of hope” and in reality something we as farmers and society in general can so easily embrace.
Thank you for getting me the book Nikki Thompson

We have currently been upgrading some 40-50 year old fences on Nugget Hills. Where possible we are reusing existing posts and wire and adding new where necessary. Generally we have saved well over 2/3 rds of the wire and 90% of the posts. The three young English lads, Ollie, Andy & Tom, who are assisting us, are having an experience of a lifetime, learning new skills and proudly leaving a legacy they will hopefully one day bring their future families to see!!

Our Syntropic plot is abundant! First banana shooing, corn beginning to cob and zucchinis growing in size before our eyes. And the flavour of them is amazing. Cooke simply with olive oil and a little salt and pepper is all you need.
Nature's abundance calls us to be in connection and collaboration - far more is given than we can receive and use! Through our connections we are finding more and more ways to share the fecundity of our harvest. Bringing joy and wellbeing to our larger community.
What a blessing

Our plot is surging ahead ( and loving the 60 mm rain over three days) all tree & shrub seedlings as well as things like ginger & cassava taking off from cuttings and roots. There is a plethora of vegetables ( zucchini, radish, Asian leafy greens) as well as other plants like corn, watermelon, pumpkins and Dolichos Lab Lab, Mungbean and edible beans all super happy. The inter row buffel grass seeded with Progardes, forage sorghum, Gatton Panic , Rhodes grass, vetch, chicory, tillage radish and medics is also striking magnificently.

Congratulations to the Hughes family for being the wonderful land stewards and mentors they are. We share a very similar ethos here with Soil2Soul. May the regenerative, syntropic agricultural space continue to flourish and gift its life lessons more widely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEcq8RpVgjE Emma King Peter Thompson Angus King

For Queensland beef cattle veterans, the Hughes family, it was the extended run of dry years and the realisation that this could be the new normal that force...

We have had a successful couple of days mustering over 800head of cattle out of our Nugget Hills country. They have been bought in from 2500 ha of scrub , gorge and open grass country to be drafted into smaller lots as they continue their grassfed journey. We used a combination of very capable people, horses, dogs, buggies and a helicopter to bring them to the yards. A large portion of the mob were beautifully quiet Brahman cross heifers from Kacie and Ardie Lord. Emma Angus Peter Heidi Polley

We have just finished packing the meat from one of our 2 year old grass fed steers. He dressed out at a whopping 350 kg! The first photo is his younger sisters enjoying Oats and multi species…this is followed by the Rib fillet ( aka Cube Roll)pre and post slicing then 600 gram/ slice Rump ( with my hand for scale!!) then Nikki Thompson bagging the T- bone steaks finishing with a bag of Chuck steak. Along with Angus King & Emma King we have nurtured our cattle purely on grass and forage crops without any licks or fertiliser. Our aim is to be as natural and Regenerative as possible and looking at those cattle and that meat, that have played such a huge role in managing the carbon cycle towards nett sequestration, we firmly believe we are on a good trajectory.

Peter, Emma, Angus and I are excited to be hosting a Syntropic Farming workshop at Echo Hills with Thiago Gimenez Barbosa in September. The course is for anyone from beginners to gardeners to large scale farmers and is about coupling ecosystem regeneration with food production. The flyer will give more details and please reach out to ask any questions.
