At Home in the Garden

In this episode we hear from Anna Johansson on her experience of being a Swedish woman on an Aussie farm. Anna shares her joy of growing and eating her own food. She also shares how she finds happiness outside of the money-making rat race. 

You can see Anna’s home grown produce and some of what she makes with them on her farm’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
