Featured Family - The Andersons
Eat. Love. Care.
Archie (7), Palisa, Matt, Soraya (9)
Anderson Family - Palisa and Matt and their kids Soraya (9) and Archie (7) -
flies about 800km north of Sydney to their organic farm in Bryon, every school
holiday. They join their team of farmers there to farm their beloved land in a
sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
‘Kids too, have their assigned chores while on the farm,’ says Palisa.
‘Every morning,’ young Archie adds. ‘I mean, every single morning we are
there - I cannot miss even a single morning – I have to carry the chicken (feed)
bucket and feed the chooks.’
Palisa laughs and adds, ‘yeah, initially they hated it.’
‘I didn’t hate it,’ Archie corrects mum. ‘I just did not like it as much because of
the mosquitos and wasps. They sting and a wasp sting is not good, you know.’
