We are in the process of sending some cattle to the market and wish to ensure that none of them are pregnant. We enlisted the expert help of Sarah, who conducted the necessary tests. Despite the challenging weather conditions during her work, Sarah's assistance was invaluable. We are grateful for her expertise as she identified one pregnant cow among the group she tested. This underscores the importance of thorough testing before market readiness. Thank you, Sarah, for your assistance.

Discover the delightful world of cumquat marmalade, crafted with only 1/3 of the sugar typically found in traditional recipes. Infused with a harmonious blend of cardamom, clove, cinnamon, and star anise, this recipe is a true culinary masterpiece.
For precise results, ensure to properly operate the cutter by filling it only to the top of the feeder and utilising the pusher to gently guide the fruit through.
To recreate this delectable creation, commence by washing 1500g of cumquats at a time and feeding them through the cutter on a thick/slicing setting. Next, transfer the sliced cumquats into a pot on the stove, adding 250 ml of water and 500 g of raw sugar. Incorporate a small cotton bag containing a fragment of cinnamon bark, 2 cloves, 4 cardamom pods, and a star anise.
Gradually warm the mixture until it begins to bubble, stirring continuously for approximately 20 minutes. Subsequently, cover the pot, increase the heat, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Finally, carefully transfer the marmalade into clean glass jars, seal them securely, and behold the tangy, sweet, and perfectly set result.
Experience the exquisite flavors of this exceptional cumquat creation!

Its a bit addictive to stand in between the branches of the old Mulberry situated in the chook pen. I can only pause and get handfuls before leaving again.
There are so many ripening now.
I prefer the variety that gives the rounded fruit.
But Alas! Who complains?

Mulberries are rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin C and iron, and may help lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar, and reduce inflammation. They also contain antioxidants that can support heart health and boost the immune system.

At Zest, the chicken coops were completely overgrown with wormwood bushes. Jozef, our diligent assistant, cleared out these bushes, allowing our fruit trees to thrive once more. The old apple tree even seems eager to express its gratitude with a bounty of apples but needed a mate.
After a trip to Kojonup, I returned with a blooming Pink Lady apple tree! Here you go Apple tree🙏
Exciting times ahead. I have a great love for apples. 🍎
