The new group of mums who have moved onto the Turning Point farm are continuing to do well
“The farm is very nice and we enjoy when we are working on it. It's very hard work but we just enjoy it.” Melab
At the Turning Point Farm the new group of mums who moved there in December are adjusting well to rural life and throwing themselves into the farm work. They are being trained in farming skills and putting it all into practice on their own half acre plots. The mums are also living together in community, cooking their meals and eating together.
“We mothers are farming and we are happy that our kids' lives are changing. Since we came to the farm, we don't sleep hungry or miss a cup of tea.” Nancy
The mums and kids are bonding together well as a community despite the natural struggles and tensions that come up as a group learns to live together. Samuel, the new Farm Manager, is very pleased by their progress.
“We thank Turning Point for what they've done. Since we came here in December we have been continuing with things on the farm, we are planting now. We are really happy and our kids are happy” Felista
See the video of the mum's moving day in December and a progress report from the mums 2 months into their stay at the farm.
