If you are contemplating lifestyle living – DO THIS COURSE!
Practical and fun, Sheryn is a passionate teacher – and bakes great cakes!
Kathleen - new owner of a lifestyle block in Tauranga
Great benefit for people looking to start out in the lifestyle farming life.
Good broad cover as we needed. Ideas, discussion and feedback very valuable.
Steven & Toni – considering swapping Auckland stress for land in the Wairarapa
A wonderful full day of ideas, questions and seeing possibilities for living and working well with the land.
I loved how much honest experimentation has been done by Sheryn and all the insights shared from this.
Rowan – reporter specialising in organic food features.
Sheryn has a great style in presenting the subjects that make it fun and interesting. I knew very little before I came -
I now know a little bit more but more importantly I have an idea of what questions I need to ask when developing my land.
Sheryn and Steve were "google" in person. Lots of practical advice and stories to share their experiences.
Simon & Alison – establishing a 'retirement' lifestyle block out of Auckland
A fantastic day, relaxed and informal but super informative and interesting.
Debi – living off the land in coastal Bay of Plenty
The day spent at LaLs is a fantastic snapshot of what is possible with a block of land.
A great day spent with fantastic people on a beautiful and thoughtful property.
