Lyn Harwood literally watches the grass grow. Lyn, along with partner Bruce Pascoe, is bringing back connection to our Country through lived experience and ancient agriculture.
She is building widespread recognition for Australian native foods: the grains, grasses and more that were grown and harvested by Aboriginal peoples for tens of thousands of years. This journey is captured in the book, Black Duck: A Year at Yumbarra.
Lyn takes host Rachel and comedian Alex Ward through the beauty of the farm, the work that goes into it, and how much we're learning about our country's roots (literally).
Alex also grows her own food, including foraging in urban areas. Magnolias have never sounded so...tasty?
