Welcome to Bhumandala Homestead where we are working towards sustainable living for our family and building communities with likeminded people The homestead name represents following the ancient wisdom of the Earth and the cosmos Bhumandala is a 5-acre sanctuary dedicated to self-sustainability, syntropic gardening, and regenerative farming practices. Inspired by the sacred Vedic vision of the Earth as a harmonious, interconnected mandala, our farm nurtures life in diverse and holistic ways. From free-ranging chickens and mobile chicken tractors, bees, to richly layered gardens that mimic natural ecosystems, every element of Bhumandala is designed to regenerate soil, support biodiversity, and honor the cycles of nature and life. Here, we grow food, foster resilience, and live in rhythm with the land — one conscious choice at a time We are renovating our homestead using a lot of recyclable materials and natural resources I hope you enjoy sharing our journey

Travel sketches from my recent trip. At least the beginning of it, because once the convention started, I stopped sketching and started writing in my journal. 😬

Many thanks to nostr:npub1f5kc2agn63ecv2ua4909z9ahgmr2x9263na36jh6r908ql0926jq3nvk2u for the inspo to finally try something I’d been thinking about for years.

Yummy Orange and Greek Yoghurt upside down cake

This seasons best tasting cake 🧡 I can’t take credit because my lovely daughter baked it with oranges harvested at Bhumandala, fresh chicken eggs and used whatever she could find in the fridge.. namely Greek yoghurt it was perfectly moist and springy and tasted so good

This little group of gorgeous baby chicks have been named the Blackjacks because there is 21 of them

The Compost Pile has turned into beautiful soil ❤️ it took me a while to use it, due to all the rain here in Queensland, but today’s weather suggests Spring 🌸🍀🦋 is here. The garden will love a top up and the chickens love giving it the final tick of approval
