We Forest Earth will be collaborating with Swell Nourished Cafe by holding a endemic mushroom production workshop. We will be showcasing how to cultivate endemic fungi in an outdoor area for the purpose of growing food and medicine.

It will be on Sunday the 22nd of November from 9am till 2pm at Waves campground. The event is catered and you will get a drink on arrival and a native mushroom themed meal for lunch after we all perform our practical demonstrations.

We will run you through how you can benefit from working with woody biomass to grow your own mushrooms. We will be demonstrating how to turn tree prunings like logs, branches and mulch into growing mediums for edible & medicinal fungi.

This workshop will teach how you can speed up nutrient cycling and biomass decomposition whilst obtaining a yield at the same time.

The perfect workshop to teach you how to cultivate fungi outside so you can bring it into the garden, food forests or your homestead’s.

We will be holding the workshop at the cafe using locally sourced logs and branches from w**d species so they can harvest and use the mushrooms in their cooking.

Tickets are limited!

See you soon 🍄💚

King Stropharia aka the ‘Wine Cap’ mushroom is such a winner when it comes to choosing a hardy primary decomposing fungi that can digest both fresh and partly broken down mulch. They are really aggressive and not fussy to cultivate.

It grows really well in your zone 1 gardens or even in your food forests as it’s able to grow so well on its own that it will colonise areas and continue to fruit wash season as long as you keep feeding the ground with fresh biomass.

They produce big yields and support the decomposing of the mulch which in turn speeds up the in-situ composting going on around your trees. Using fungi to make the breaking down of organic matter more bioavailable for the garden whilst obtaining a yield at the same time.👌🏽

In Permaculture we are always talking about stacking functions and King Stropharia in the zone 1 veggie gardens or food forests is the perfect example of this permaculture principle in action.

This jar of Stropharia rugosoannulata mycelium was from Pierre Loiseau and it’s been the perfect addition to my herb and greens garden.

Food Forests are the type of garden that can be super overwhelming in the beginning but over time you get comfortable enough to trust yourself to make decisions that consider what’s best for the forest through its stages of development. 🌱

Checking in with each area, using observation to guide your management approach, applying presence to sit with an area and listen to what it needs all requires a basic understanding of ecological awareness and framework.

Succession, consortiums and biomass accumulation can be easily picked up by anyone when they are given the right opportunity to learn. We think practical hands on learning mixed with the theoretical teachings is so important for people to build their confidence. Once you have designed, planted and managed one line of food forest you can confidently go and plant as many as you want.

We will be planting a new food forest from scratch for this upcoming workshop in the Northern Rivers and it’s the perfect chance to build the confidence to start growing food forests from scratch so you can spread them in your own backyard, at your mates place or for your family.

Growing your own food and regenerating the land delivered with less strict rules and scientific terminology is what we are trying to achieve in our workshops. Liv and I put a lot of effort into sharing information in a way that feels like it’s easy enough to grasp and that you don’t need to be an expert to have the confidence to get started.

We love sharing these skills and if you’ve been waiting to build these kind of skills and resilience in your own backyard then this is for you.

Hope to see you there 💚

Before and after of this 1 year old food forest in Hartys Plains!! 🌱🌴🌳

Another epic project that has blown me away with how well these ecosystems can grow with the right foundations and love. This forest was installed for a legend of a client who needed a hand reclaiming her old garden back from it being overgrown and getting out of hand. My client is a woman of the land, experienced gardener and self proclaimed ‘swamp witch’ and this was the next step in her off grid lifestyle along side her bees, animals and other gardens.

We managed to rip in and do a full reset. We layed down thickkkkk mulch and let it rest for 6 months. By the time we started planting the mycelium had already started the decomposition and was feeding the soil. When we planted it was perfectly broken down and moist 👌🏽

We co-designed this food forest to suit her vision for the space and we both share a love for native plants and wildlife. This project has the perfect balance of diverse native pioneers and rainforest trees amongst the edible fruiting trees, shrubs and ground covers.

I think we managed to plant every species of native pioneer we could get our hands on and it was so good to use this project to see what pioneers outside of the usual suspects perform in agroforestry lines. White cedar is proving to be a keeper with its perfect habit and insane speed of growth.

Building food security for people who want to invite caring for the ecosystem into their garden is an absolute pleasure. When humans can be selfishly involved in regeneration without compromising the needs of the ecosystem is where my joy lies. This is what gets me out of bed. This is what excites my soul!

Keen to share more updates with you as this project continues to grow. I just got the update that my client did an entire chop and drop just before the rains came so I think we are in for a treat. Yeehaaa 🤠👌🏽💚

Liv and I are bringing our Backyard Food Sovereignty Workshop to the Northern Rivers!

This workshop is aimed at kick-starting your journey to regenerative living, by teaching you how to grow abundant, resilient food gardens and how to build efficient closed-loop (composting) systems at home.

We are holding the workshop at a perfect location that is an off grid homestead - early in its establishment and is a great example of how begin the journey and adapt to this style of regenerative living from scratch. We will be planting brand new food forest rows so you can feel confident starting your own at home!

What you’ll learn:

- Efficient design for high-yield, resilient edible landscapes
- Building a kitchen garden from scratch
- Polycultures, guilds, succession planting, seasonal planning
- Integrated pest management
- Home composting: worm farm, chickens, hot/cold composting
- Food forest installation, design and management - stacking in time and space
- Nutrient cycling using household waste and garden waste
- Land regeneration & mushroom production
- How to plan & phase a backyard project in your homestead.

We are so keen to see you all and pass on as much as we can over a weekend workshop! 💚

So excited to launch my website finally after many months of back and forward with Josephine Amber Muir it’s been awesome having you help me bring this to life!

We have been building this to be a place where you can connect with me and know exactly what it is I’m offering without trying to sift through my posts and figure it out for yourself.

I can’t believe I’ve lasted this long without one to be honest but here we are - one step closer to getting off the convenient ni**le that Facebook and Instagram have been offering me to run my business and attract my dream clients.

It feels so good to know that I’m reachable to everyone now rather than just those who engage with social media.
I’ve been getting the push to start to diversify my advertising and offering what I do outside of relying on META.

I’m always talking about building resilience in your backyard and in our community’s and I realised I need to bring this into my own business and the way I rely on certain structures for my income.

In a world where you can get your account frozen for speaking up about what matters and your hard work wasted if you don’t follow the orders of the big tech oligarchs, I felt pushed to build ways that I can reach good people who need what I’m offering.

So now thanks to Josie Im going to keep talking from my truth and authenticity and keep commenting on all the bu****it going on around us and know that if they shadow ban me I’m able to still reach you all and that it’s not all over. 😂

Here’s to walking fearlessly in your truth and building a life where we don’t have to submit to orders to be able to eat good food, earn a living and have access to everything we need to be able to thrive! 💪🏼

The time to build sovereignty and community resilience is NOW and if you’ve been wanting to do this for yourself then check out my website to see if I can give you a hand along the way - it’s what I love to do. 💚

Have a suss ⬇️

Recently I was interviewed for the Focus Magazine about my journey with Permaculture and Ecological restoration!

Stoked to be able to talk freely on this platform around my views on w**ds, how I choose to approach w**d ridden landscapes and my journey with We Forest Earth - Mycoregen and the Mycoregen process. 🍄

I’ve been featured in this magazine earlier when I was running an organic cafe so it’s nice to be back with a new business that aligns with where my passions are now.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me so far. I love helping good people put food on their table and teaching them how to take care of the bush. It’s a pleasure 💚🙏🏽

How lucky am I to share what I love to people who want to learn more about connecting with the natural world! 💚💪🏼

Teaching what I’m passionate about is such a gift and when the people who come along to workshops are absolute legends it makes the whole journey even better.

I’ve made some strong connections and lifelong friends and family from holding workshops out amongst the community and I couldn’t be more greatfull.

Blessed to walk this earth beside some beautiful people that make it all worth it. To everyone that’s come to one of my workshops - Thankyou, you have supported the dream more than you realise 🙏🏽

Forever greatful for Hands to Earth / Liv Marsh We Forest Earth - Mycoregen for working alongside me to make the dream happen.

Keen for more! I’ll let you know when the next ones happening ⚡️🍄

To be holding grassroots events like our ‘Backyard food sovereignty’ workshop is like a dream come true for both Liv and I. 🌱
We can see the power that it has when people come together to reclaim their power back - starting in their own backyard. 💪🏼
There are so many people turning back to the old ways of growing food and medicine and this always gets me very excited for our future!
Real people, real solutions and an epic grassroots movement that continues to attract great people to share this information with!
Hands to Earth / Liv Marsh and I were blessed with a good crew of humans to be able to share everything related to backyard food growing and permaculture design and we loved every second of it. Thanks to everyone who came along.

We are looking forward for our trip down south! Thanks to Noosa Forest Retreat for hosting us - we will be back soon! 💚🙏🏽
