Abas

It all started with my childhood dream of owning a farm with horses and chickens, but I never really found the time. However after learning about permaculture, I was inspired to start the farm with the intention to tend the earth, which I realised was a natural and deep calling in humans. Learning to grow our own food was a big step away from buying whatever we needed from shops and restaurants. At the same time, we wanted to give our children the chance to be close to nature, which, as it turned out, was not an easy or straightforward process.

Most importantly, I needed to get Safia fully on board our homesteading dream. 

Tirtha Quddus has connected me with an absolute dependence on God, whether it is for sunshine or rain, or the realisation that it was the birds that grew most of the trees on the land, or the wonder at fishes that somehow appeared soon after I dug my first pond. As for the horses? They’re still a dream.
