Life on Fodder Farm

In 2020 the Stewart family left their tiny village home to move to a remote homestead deep in the middle of Central North Island in New Zealand. Life on Fodder Farm is their journey through a year living off and with the land. Each season brings changes to their lives, a fresh focus of what needs to be done on their small off-grid homestead. The remote rugged landscape connects them to nature and leads them down the natural farming pathway. But they also find the natural lifestyle means nourishing food, homecare and body care all become elements they can produce at home. Both a source of inspiration and a practical guide to simple living and reducing our impact on the land, you will find advice on growing and using your own vegetables, keeping chickens and other animals, upcycling and DIY projects.
