This week Nicola and Di chat with the wonderfully talented Matilda Brown. Matilda is an actress, writer and director turned entrepreneur, who now spends her time running her meaningful and successful online business, The Good Farm Shop, with her husband Scott. They provide organic ready-made meals sourced from regenerative farms, which are delicious, healthy and ethical. Matilda is also the daughter of Australian acting legends Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward, and we hear lots about their close-knit family in this beautiful interview. 

Matilda shares how she first became interested in regenerative farming, the difference between industrial and regen farms, and how she started a business with her husband during Covid, when she wanted to source ethical meat and the local butcher didn’t know how to help. What started as a cow share, shifted and grew into the business they own today, providing delicious real meals with only the best ingredients. We hear about some of the funny mistakes they made along the way, including the realisation 18 months in that they weren’t making any money. Whoops!

We also hear all about Matilda’s relationship with her parents, Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward, and the incredible bond they share. You can tell from the way Matilda talks about them, that they truly are her role models and she has immense love and respect for them, not only as her parents, but as incredible humans. 

This episode is a really emotional one. Matilda was open and vulnerable and really feeling all of the emotion of the current plight of the world, so there were lots of tears shed in this interview. We are so grateful to Matilda for being so real and honest and sharing her beautiful soul with us. We hope you will love listening to Matilda as much as we loved talking to her.
