The Good Life

The Good Life has been created to help those who want to adopt a healthier lifestyle. If you are concerned about the amount of chemicals that are or could be in your food and would like to know more about how you can change things then this site is for you.

Over 18 years ago we went to an auction and purchased two acres of land. It was just a pasture field - and didn't have any buildings on it - but now it has several outbuildings on it, greenhouses, a polytunnel and is home to a variety of geese, chicken, a horse, feral cats and is used to grow fresh chemical free produce. This site will look at all areas of growing your own food from rearing your own chickens to harvesting your own food.

If you have any thoughts on the subject of organic farming or anything that would be of interest to visitors of this site then please email us using the Contact Us link on the right hand side of your computer screen and we will consider it for publication.

A site for those interested in self-sufficiency and growing their own produce
