Welcome to Season 3, episode 7 of the season dedicated to wholefoods in the marketplace. This week, your co-host Rich Bowden interviews Lynden Lamb’s Tammy Kurtz in a fascinating outdoor interview in sunny Bathurst, NSW. Tammy talks the methodology of raising quality lambs in a biodynamic system, the intricacies of the preparations and leaving better soil for generations to come. Hope you enjoy it!
Key quotes:
“It’s a holistic approach…a sustainable farming system.”
“Because I sell regularly every fortnight, I get constant feedback [from customers].”
“It always comes down to the flavour.”
“There are many aspects of keeping on top of the parasite problem in the flock.”
“Culling will improve the whole health of the flock.”
“Bio preparations help to activate the soil.”
“[Biodynamics] works from the soil up: healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy animals and then healthy humans.”
“The sun indicates a lot of what the plants do.”
“Plants may look great but they’re just full of salt water.”
“People are starting to ask: What am I eating? Where has it come from? I want to know how it’s produced, who did it.”
