Have you ever dreamed of escaping the hustle and bustle of city life and relocating to a tropical paradise? Being busy and constantly moving may be viewed as a measure of success by some, but it often leads to exhaustion, burn out and depression. Wouldn’t it be nice to find peace and fulfillment doing what you love on your own terms? Ben Wallace and Rachel Boon are the gastronomic power couple behind Oaks Kitchen & Garden who join us in this episode of the Creative Little Soul Podcast. Leaving behind successful careers in Sydney and Melbourne, the pair relocated to far North Queensland and have carved out their own foodie haven, devoting themselves to gently nurturing the land and fostering a farm to table philosophy based on sustainable farming practices. They were kind enough to join us to discuss their love of South East Asian cuisine, their passion for a quality organic produce and how they modified their business model during lock down. As we record these straight up and raw, there is a bit of wifi marco polo at the beginning of the chat, so stick with it though as it's incredibly interesting to speak with this duo!
