Running a Regenerative Farm and a Hatted Restaurant: The Story of Frida’s Field


Listen Later

Today I'm heading down to Nashua, between Lismore and Bangalow on the NSW North Coast, to have a chat to Jeanie.

Jeanie Wylie and Edward Rawlings set up a restaurant called Frida’s Field. If you're driving between Lismore and Bangalow and you look across to the east, around the Nashua turn-off, you'll see, on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, a bunch of cars parked and, no doubt, groups of people enjoying a delicious long lunch in the afternoon sun.

Jeanie took some time out of her busy schedule, menu planning, market garden, family life in general, and we had a bit of a chat around setting up the farm, their story, some of the challenges they've faced and still face.

Probably of the most interest is how they're trying to integrate what they produce on the farm into the menu of Frida's Field.

So enjoy the chat and if you want to know more about Frida's Field, go to https://www.fridasfield.com/ and you can get more of the history of the farm. You could also book and have a fantastic lunch there. I highly recommend.

This Ground Cover episode is one in a short series where we hear from participants in the Regenerative Agriculture Mentoring Program. RAMP was developed at Southern Cross University.
