Living With Purpose: Life Lessons From Nature’s Harvest

Preorder our book here! 🌱 This traditional life in the countryside has taught us many lessons - but mostly we’ve learned to find purpose in the simple things; planting trees, harvesting tropical fruit, gardening, growing food, and watching the seasons pass us by. Anastasia’s Instagram: Julia’s Instagram: We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia Vanderbyl. A few years ago, we began a journey to live a life in perfect harmony with nature. A life of caring for animals, growing fruit, planting trees, gardening, cooking, creating, building and learning to live with the land. In this time, nature has taught us more than we could have ever imagined. Our environmental films document the landscape, the lessons we’ve learnt and our work as regenerative farmers here on Bundjalung Country. We live on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal People of the Bundjalung Nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial.
