Autumn 2020 Newsletter

What a year it is shaping up to be, certainly not the year any of us were expecting. Like many of you we have been severely impacted by COVID-19 and the restrictions that have been put in place to try and contain it’s spread. We are sure it will come as no surprise that we have had to cancel a significant number of this years courses. While it was the only real option, it was nonetheless a sad one to make and given our isolation, it probably surprised our poor staff the most. In spite of a lack of young people, we are exceptionally grateful to the staff who have decided to stay on and continue looking after Mittagundi. We have some big plans for the farm over the next few months which includes: redoing the floor in the Dining Room (thanks termites), renovating the Gear Shed, much fencing, preserving, and continuing the vege garden’s dream run! We all feel very lucky to be able to be here during this time.

We are thinking of our extended community and hope that you are all staying safe and well.  We look forward to seeing your faces and hearing your stories sometime soon!
