About this episode
The dawn of Azure Farm began with fruit trees and has graduated to 26 to 30 raised beds. But Annette doesn’t recommend this many raised beds for beginners. In fact, starting small and working in phases is a better idea!

After years of city life, she sought a simpler way of living and moved to the country. There she cares for her organic garden and orchard, and animals which include alpacas, miniature donkeys, chickens, turkeys, bees, and more! She is self-taught and loves sharing with others what she has learned over the years. Her goal is to inspire others to live this lifestyle and share her daily adventures on social media - @azurefarm, her website - azurefarm.com, and the Azure Farm Podcast which she hosts with her husband.
