Creatures of Place is an insight into the wonderful world of Artist as Family: Meg Ulman, Patrick Jones, and their youngest son, Woody. Living on a 1/4-acre section in a small Australian town, Meg and Patrick have designed their property using permaculture principals.
They grow most of their own food, don’t own cars and ride their bikes instead, use very little electricity, and forage food and materials from their local forest.
Last sentence:
“Forage for food and materials from their local forest.”
Talk about burying the lede. They can only function on a quarter acre by “stealing” from the public forests.
If everyone did that there would be no public forests. There’s not enough wood and food for everyone.
Pretty sure they don’t grow their bicycles either!
