Diary of a Carbon Farmer

This is the diary of an Australian family who escaped from the city, joined a farming community, and learned to love soil. Carbon Farming is about growing soil carbon - the first link in our food chain. The topsoil is where God's creation is taking place, at every moment. Carbon is the building block of life. By growing it we can restore ecosystems to health. At the same time we can remove Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere and store it as Carbon in the soil.

We discover another Uamby and another Michael Lahy

Olivia googled "Uamby" yesterday and up popped another "Uamby" at a place called Tullakool in Victoria. Not only that, but the family that own it are called Lahy. And not only that, the senior Lahy is called Michael. (Regular visitors to this blog will recall that a Michael Lahy pioneered our property in the 1820s and that he is buried down by the river, along with many members of his family.) I spoke to Chris Lahy just a few moments ago and got his email address to make contact. Stay tuned.
