Tamsin moved to Gippsland and established her farm almost eleven years ago, after many years living in Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra. The inspiring story behind Tamsin’s big move to the country struck a chord with so many of you when we first shared this feature back in October! Though it must be said, this big move didn’t happen by chance. Tamsin’s is a carefully crafted lifestyle, evolved from a nagging desire to return to a simpler way of living.
‘For many years I knew I really wanted to try my hand at farming, and get out of the city where I always felt cramped up and claustrophobic’ explains Tamsin. She opened up an atlas and marked all the places across Australia within a two hour drive of a major airport, and where rainfall exceeded evaporation (she was particularly conscious of drought). ‘Once we laid our eyes on this part of the world we were completely sold’ Tamsin says. ‘The hills were so green that I cried. We found this farm on the internet while still in Canberra, and I hadn’t even seen it in the flesh when we made the offer on it. I just knew it would be right”.
From here, Tasmin now runs her amazing little business, Tamsin’s Table, which sees her host an ever changing schedule of Sunday lunches, harvesting and cooking workshops, and other seasonal events.
