What might farming mean for your family? "We need great people back on the land and we need great farming communities." Guy Grossi, Restauranteur. Authors Andrew and Anna have spent more than a decade farming They've produced and sold everything from organic turmeric to wild hibiscus, goats' milk soap to beeswax balms, miniature Galloway cattle through to honey from native and Italian bees. They've also farmed people, their successful agritourism business winning state and national awards. But awards don't really mean anything, that's because the prize for many farmers is a life full of challenge, fulfilment and memories; a life connected to and infused by the power of nature.
