Welcome to The Barefoot Pear! Thanks for checking us out. We’re Patrick and Rhianna, and we’ve set up The Barefoot Pear to share photos, ideas, workshops, project updates, interesting articles, DIY tips, recipes and all sorts of good stuff all in one place. Like most sensible people, we’re really concerned about the state of the planet right now, and we’re on a mission to change the world – starting with our own little patch.
Our ultimate plan is to move from our suburban Melbourne rental to our very own home on a much larger patch. On this property we will be employing permaculture design principles to grow an abundance of food, we’ll be sharing space and skills with community, and improving the land using regenerative techniques. We want to create our own little paradise which gives more to the earth and the community than it takes. We want to create a lifestyle that shows people that it is possible to live a fulfilled and happy life outside the capitalist machine. We would argue, in fact, that this is indeed the only way to live a truly fulfilled and happy life.
But we have a lot to learn in the meantime, and The Barefoot Pear is our means for sharing our learning journey with anyone who wants to join us for the ride. So thanks for checking us out, and for supporting us on this journey.
