We live on a remote mountainous 390-hectare farm in the Western Cape South Africa. We started the blog to inspire others to try simple living naturally.
Our lifestyle isn't for everyone, but for us it's everything!
We welcome your feedback and suggestions so drop us a message.

Carol
Former city slicker, my environmental epiphany happened when delivering yachts to the Caribbean in the '80s. I first realized humanity's lack of respect for the ocean and its inhabitants.
I've lived in South Africa, England and Canada, and here I am living exactly where I'm supposed to be.

Marina
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a vet, and was always bringing animals home.
I bought my first horse when I was 6, and have worked with them my whole life.
Hubby and I bought this farm seven years ago, where I breed warmblood horses and chickens.
