I'm Emma Jane.
My family and I live on a small-scale demonstration farm dedicated to regenerative farming practices in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia on the land of the Gundungurra.
I have many roles including being a wife, mother, cook, writer, educator, and soil activist. My love for cooking started at a young age, spending time in the kitchen with my mother. This love transformed into a passion for growing produce and now a deep interest in soil health.
I make an artisanal range of products from the produce we grow right here on our farm, I am also a private chef and caterer.
I also share my knowledge of regenerative agriculture with others. From backyard veggie gardens to small-scale farming, I offer vegetable garden consultations, cooking classes, workshops, and written articles on regenerative agriculture.
