It is our proud family &#8211; run organic farm and home for us &#8211; Stewart Seesink, Bee Winfield and our gorgeous son Lee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We&#8217;ve seen the rainfall decline and conditions get harder due to climate change (yes it&#8217;s real). \u00a0Yet the oaks, the stone pines, the pecans and poplars I planted from seed tower above us now. The soil and the biodiversity builds up with every passing year, and that is immensely satisfying. Thanks to our many loyal customers &#8211; who have discovered what food is meant to taste like, for their unwavering support which allows us to keep growing.<\/p>\n<p>We have enormous admiration and gratitude to Bill Mollison, founder of permaculture, for his positive thinking , prodigious research into sustainable living practices, and tireless public education efforts. Thanks Bill, your the BEST!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-459\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/merribee.swcomputerlab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/13626378_1736636033257265_6349607222243775926_n.jpg?resize=960%2C960&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"13626378_1736636033257265_6349607222243775926_n\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/13626378_1736636033257265_6349607222243775926_n.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/13626378_1736636033257265_6349607222243775926_n.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/13626378_1736636033257265_6349607222243775926_n.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/13626378_1736636033257265_6349607222243775926_n.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is just a short excerpt for the about&nbsp;page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1678","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1678"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1678\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2015,"href":"https:\/\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1678\/revisions\/2015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
