  • Liz Zorab has an incredible permaculture setup on a micro-smallholding, with the vegetable garden and food forest being a total of 0.5 acres! Liz produces 85% of her family's annual food needs, and on top of that runs a micro-CSA Veg Box scheme that feeds 20 local families. This is the perfect example of what can be done in a small space.
    Huge thank you to Liz Zorab: / lizzorab

    Doing all that you do to feed 20 families a week is a pure act of love, giving and kindness to your environment and the people who you share this with. If more people could do this in a neighbourly way and with communal help the world and our environment would be in a much better place. There is a group in Dartington which allows people to volunteer to help and learn skills while paying a small sum for veg boxes. This makes sence. They may be otherwise having to rent landspace and are learning the skills needed and get enjoyment throughout the experience. Well done Liz!! and hope Huw is back with us soon. Big love from Devon xx

    Huw, this format is great! It would be amazing if you could somehow work some small plot layouts into some of the videos in the future. That would help people figure out how to use their small parcels of land and may inspire someone to get started growing food. The friendship you have with Liz is really nice. You two make me wish I could move to Wales and farm. Perhaps I will get to visit one day. I hope this channel takes off as it is definitely helping people. Blessings!
