Pat Bowcock explains how she left her 9-5 lifestyle to live in tune with the land, creating her own five acre permaculture smallholding, that is her home, her work and her life.
Pat’s smallholding, Ourganics Evolving Systems, features a large polytunnel, a flood garden and a forest garden, of which she harvests and sells to the local community. The local spring is used to water the crops which then joins the River Bride and a small caravan and yurt offer a place to stay, providing extra income.
Ourganics Evolving Systems is a real example of how off-grid living is a labour of love where work and play are interchangeable and a job doesn’t mean paying rent, but living a richer life.
Narrated by international lawyer and author of ‘Eradicating Ecocide’, Polly Higgins
