I’m going to the exquisite Karoo desert this weekend to a friend’s organic farm.
The beauty here is, I’m told, breathtaking!
I’ve discovered a photoset on Flickr that captures some of this magic through the lens of Rob Millenaar.. go refresh your vision of the Karoo: and discover how nature lays on precious treasure in her seemingly barren outbacks.

It’s like the peace gardens projects of the 90′s. I loved the fact that these women actually improve their health and well-being while making money for themselves and their families.
Haha, men are generally shooed away from the projects because they’re greedy and sell all the produce without keeping any extra for themselves and their family. All about the money – when will they learn!!

I went to the Woodstock organic market last week. What really got my goat was that the best sellers there weren’t organic suppliers!
There were bakeries with (very nice) goodies, and they were really popular… But I didn’t go there to find normal goods: I went to find organic!
There’s obviously a shortage of organic suppliers, but there’s no shortage of demand. I think the organic market should stand for their values and support those who are commited to supplying only orgainc foods by keeping the market focussed.
I hope the Constantia County Living market has more integrity!

My name is Sandy, I’m an amateur Astrologer and am passionate about improving the state of our environment.
There is so much more that we could be doing in our daily lives that could improve our chances of sustainable balance with nature.
This blog is dedicated to expressing some of my ideas around this cause.
