Grab your farm boots we are heading west!

In this episode of The Practical Permaculture Podcast, Alysse sits down with Pascale and Troy — a dynamic duo who swapped sailing the WORLD for life as full-time land stewards in South West WA. From navigating waves to wranglinggoats, their journey into homesteading is packed with wisdom, grit, and a whole lot of heart.

Together, they dive into the realities of regenerative living: managing animals, milking goats, and using pigs to transform weedy pastures into lush grazing land. It’s not just about food — it’s about ethics, community, and learning howto work with the land instead of against it.

You’ll learn:
🐐 Why goats are the MVPs of weed control
🐖 How pigs can help regenerate pasture — and what it’s like to process your own meat
🥛 What it takes to dive into small-scale dairy (hint: more patience than you think)
🌽 How their approach to food preservation has changed over time
🫶The joys and challenges of raising animals with kids on the land
🌏 Why caretaking land means more than just "owning" it

Whether you’re dreaming of ditching the city or knee-deep in your own homestead project — this episode is a real, grounded look at sustainable farming, family life, and finding purpose through self-reliance.

We live, work, and dream on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands. We acknowledge them as holding deep ecological knowledge and their ability to live sustainably in harmony with the land. They and other ancient cultures are roots of permaculture—working with nature, fostering resilience, and ensuring balance for future generations.
