More than a farm: we're restoring a 1950s cob house 🏚️➡️🏡

At Country Comfort Farma, permaculture has always meant caring for the Earth and caring for people. This autumn it also means something new: construction and restoration.

We're bringing our old cob house back to life, and neither Zara nor I have ever done anything like this before. Hard hats on, props up, kango in hand, we've been taking down the old concrete roof section piece by piece so we can give the house a new timber roof structure that suits its earth walls.

And true to our principles, nothing is going to waste:

🧱 The bricks we take down are cleaned and set aside to be reused in the rebuild.
🪨 The rubble from the demolition is going straight back into the house, filling the voids in the foundations.
🌳 Timber from our own acacia trees will become anchor blocks and spacers in the new roof frame.

This is the permaculture principle "Produce No Waste" in action. Every brick, every stone and every offcut gets a second life right here on the farm, instead of a skip and a landfill.

It's dusty, heavy, humbling work, and we're learning something new every single day. Follow along as this old house gets a new chapter. 💪

The cheese is back! 🧀
The cows are being milked again, which means the cheese moulds are full once more at Country Comfort Farma.
This batch: coriander cheese, studded with whole toasted coriander seeds that give a warm, gently citrusy flavour, and pepper cheese, dotted with whole black peppercorns for a little bite in every slice.
Now comes the part that needs patience. The cheeses will be salted, cured and left to dry, turned by hand as they firm up and their flavour deepens. Good cheese can't be rushed.
Fresh milk, slow hands, simple ingredients. Nothing more is needed.
Which one would you reach for first, coriander or pepper? 👇

Thank you, Mother Earth 🌍💛
Some evenings you simply have to stop and look. Through the screen door tonight, the whole sky caught fire as the sun went down, ribbons of gold, rose and lavender stretched over the farm, lighting up the polytunnel in soft pink and silhouetting our trees against the glow.
On the table, this season's squash harvest sits drying under the sky that helped grow it. Little seedlings wait patiently in their pots, the geese potter about by their houses, and the land we've worked so hard to bring back to life settles quietly into the dusk.
Moments like this remind me why we do what we do. Every bit of clay turned into soil, every seed sown and every harvest gathered is a gift, not something we make alone, but something we're given. Nature asks so little and offers so much: beauty, nourishment, patience and peace.
So tonight I'm simply grateful. For the sky, the soil, the rain and the sun. For the abundance, and for the privilege of ending the day with this.
Thank you, Mother Earth, for your endless generosity and for painting us a masterpiece just because. 🙏🌅🎃
Namaskar 🙏

🦃 Just look at these breasts! 🦃
The left breast weighed 3,556g and the right came in at 3,553g, just 3 grams apart! That's over 7kg of breast meat from one free-range turkey that weighed a whopping 22kg in total.
Who needs a supermarket? This bird lived its life outdoors here at Country Comfort Farma, foraging, dust-bathing and growing slowly the way nature intended. No factory sheds, no long-haul lorries, no plastic trays.
We raise it. We butcher it. We pack it. We cook it. 🔪🍽️
That's what self-sufficient living is all about: knowing exactly where your food comes from, how it lived, and what went into it. The only food miles this turkey travelled were from the field to our kitchen table.
Real food. Real work. Real flavour. 🌱
