This is really fascinating. It's so cool. 182 00:09:32,489 --> 00:09:33,699 It's fun. 183 00:09:33,782 --> 00:09:36,785 Yeah, it's fun to know about. It's fun to see it all working. 184 00:09:37,745 --> 00:09:40,581 Our philosophy is to use no fossil fuels unless we have to. 185 00:09:40,664 --> 00:09:44,043 We have a rule. You're not allowed to drive anywhere on the farm 186 00:09:44,126 --> 00:09:46,170 unless you have to carry heavy equipment. 187 00:09:46,253 --> 00:09:48,547 So if you're coming back to check the animals, 188 00:09:48,631 --> 00:09:50,966 you're either walking, or we've got bikes. 189 00:09:51,050 --> 00:09:53,218 Is there any system here you haven't nailed? 190 00:09:53,302 --> 00:09:55,429 It seems like everything comes full circle. 191 00:09:55,512 --> 00:09:58,140 When the solar comes in, I'll be feeling pretty good. 192 00:09:58,223 --> 00:09:59,058 Yeah, neat. 193 00:09:59,141 --> 00:10:01,018 And then when we can have electric vehicles. 194 00:10:01,810 --> 00:10:02,936 Then we'll be done. 195 00:10:03,979 --> 00:10:06,482 [Zac] Aside from all of her other duties as co-owner, 196 00:10:06,565 --> 00:10:08,651 Tammi is also the head butcher. 197 00:10:08,734 --> 00:10:10,861 [mooing] 198 00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:12,905 [Zac] You didn't think these were pets, did you? 199 00:10:13,405 --> 00:10:17,451 The hardest part for me is the butchering and that side of it. 200 00:10:17,534 --> 00:10:19,912 And, I mean, the thing that I celebrate 201 00:10:19,995 --> 00:10:23,248 is the way that you're doing it in a balanced way. 202 00:10:23,332 --> 00:10:27,544 The emotions definitely change when you've been in these ecosystems longer. 203 00:10:27,628 --> 00:10:31,131 Um, you don't-- I don't stop feeling them. I still care. 204 00:10:31,215 --> 00:10:34,343 And as our Indigenous brothers and sisters here in Australia think, 205 00:10:34,426 --> 00:10:37,471 we're custodians of everything from the land to the air, 206 00:10:38,055 --> 00:10:41,558 but we're not exceptional from nature. We're still just part of it. 207 00:10:41,642 --> 00:10:45,479 I feel that it's acceptable and okay that we take them, 208 00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:47,898 that we take their lives for our lives. 209 00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:52,152 [Zac] As a vegan, Darin believes that no animal or creature of any kind 210 00:10:52,236 --> 00:10:56,532 should be used for human consumption, which is why he'll sit the next part out. 211 00:10:56,615 --> 00:10:59,993 Because inside here is where Tammi butchers all of the meat. 212 00:11:01,036 --> 00:11:03,580 [Tammi] Welcome to my boning room. [chuckles] 213 00:11:03,664 --> 00:11:05,666 -[Zac] What did you call it? -[Tammi] My boning room. 214 00:11:05,749 --> 00:11:07,376 -Your burning room? -Boning room. 215 00:11:07,459 --> 00:11:08,752 [Zac] I'm gonna leave that alone. 216 00:11:08,836 --> 00:11:10,879 Americans love that. That's a ham. 217 00:11:10,963 --> 00:11:13,215 If we took this aitchbone out of here, 218 00:11:13,298 --> 00:11:15,509 then you'd have a perfect Christmas ham. 219 00:11:16,093 --> 00:11:17,177 Okay. Got it. 220 00:11:17,261 --> 00:11:20,264 -So you just pull this bone out? -Yeah. I'll show you how. 221 00:11:20,764 --> 00:11:25,352 This is the aitchbone. You've got one too.

Do you have a store or… 224 00:11:29,064 --> 00:11:31,859 Well, you're standing in our tiny little farm gate shop. 225 00:11:31,942 --> 00:11:33,527 So, yes, we do have a store, 226 00:11:33,610 --> 00:11:36,822 but the predominant way we sell is through a CSA, 227 00:11:36,905 --> 00:11:38,907 Community Supported Agriculture. 228 00:11:38,991 --> 00:11:42,369 So, what that means is people sign up for a minimum of one year, 229 00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:44,955 and they get a monthly delivery from us. 230 00:11:45,038 --> 00:11:47,082 How would you get on the list for the CSA? 231 00:11:47,166 --> 00:11:49,752 Well, from Melbourne, we've got a 20-year waiting list. 232 00:11:49,835 --> 00:11:53,589 So, like… Do you have kids? -[Zac] Where's she going with this? 233 00:11:53,672 --> 00:11:55,299 -Not yet. You could sign 'em up. 234 00:11:55,382 --> 00:11:57,426 Sign 'em up now. Be a 20-year wait. 235 00:11:58,552 --> 00:11:59,970 [Zac] Noted. If I have kids, 236 00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:03,223 I'll sign them up on the waiting list for the Jonai Farms CSA. 237 00:12:06,185 --> 00:12:09,480 Pay attention, farms. If there is a 20-year waiting list, 238 00:12:09,563 --> 00:12:12,107 there is a high demand looking to be filled. 239 00:12:12,649 --> 00:12:13,984 And to the consumers, 240 00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:16,528 do a little research, and you might find local farms 241 00:12:16,612 --> 00:12:19,448 offering fresh produce subscriptions in your area too. 242 00:12:20,741 --> 00:12:21,992 Now, you might be thinking, 243 00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:25,537 "Why doesn't she just expand so she can meet all of that high demand?" 244 00:12:26,330 --> 00:12:28,749 Jonai Farms doesn't want to be 50 times bigger. 245 00:12:28,832 --> 00:12:31,877 Tammi would rather teach 50 new farmers how to do what she's doing 246 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,212 in order to meet that need. 247 00:12:35,047 --> 00:12:37,424 Because if one farm expands that big, 248 00:12:37,508 --> 00:12:40,052 it'd be defeating the entire purpose of their mission. 249 00:12:40,928 --> 00:12:44,014 And so Tammi is actively working to pass along her knowledge 250 00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:46,809 and teach others the ways of regenerative agriculture. 251 00:12:46,892 --> 00:12:48,936 How do you feel about eating animals you know? 252 00:12:49,019 --> 00:12:51,855 When people say to me, "How can you eat an animal you knew?" 253 00:12:51,939 --> 00:12:54,691 My response is always, "How can you eat one you didn't?" 254 00:12:55,859 --> 00:12:59,613 Yeah. That's… really correct, when you think about it, isn't it? 255 00:12:59,696 --> 00:13:01,490 I don't think I need to say more than that. 256 00:13:01,573 --> 00:13:03,325 Yeah. That makes total sense. 257 00:13:03,408 --> 00:13:05,285 Clearly, we know that these… 258 00:13:05,369 --> 00:13:09,832 This led a really good life, and you know where it's been, where it's come from… 259 00:13:09,915 --> 00:13:11,333 Yep.

And it doesn't render soft. 265 00:13:29,351 --> 00:13:32,020 So that will get rendered instead for soap. 266 00:13:32,896 --> 00:13:36,650 And then any trims, so, like, off this bit of silverside, 267 00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:37,985 that'll go into sausage. 268 00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:38,944 [Zac] Beautiful. 269 00:13:39,027 --> 00:13:40,737 [soft guitar playing] 270 00:13:40,821 --> 00:13:41,697 [Zac] Break time! 271 00:13:43,907 --> 00:13:46,869 There might be a long waiting list for a Jonai Farms food subscription, 272 00:13:47,578 --> 00:13:51,915 but here's a chance to try some of their freshest fare right here and now. 273 00:13:55,085 --> 00:13:56,545 Hey, look!
