23. The Garden of Eatin’

Ross lives on a 1.2ha lifestyle block that was once part of his parents dairy farm. There he tries to live a simple self-sufficient life growing, farming and hunting most of his food using permaculture and organic principles. He raises rare breed chickens and ducks, and has two precocious Kunekune pigs who have decided that he is their staff.
