Season of Juicy Jambu: Harvests, Cooking and the Long Days of Summer

The fruit of summer are abundant. We harvest and cook with juicy jambu and tasty mangoes to make the most colourful tacos! And then, we had the most amazing surprise, a tiny duckling hatched from an egg. Anastasia’s Instagram: Julia’s Instagram: We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia Vanderbyl. A few years ago, we began a journey to live a life in perfect harmony with nature. A life of caring for animals, growing fruit, planting trees, gardening, cooking, creating, building and learning to live with the land. In this time, nature has taught us more than we could have ever imagined. Our environmental films document the landscape, the lessons we’ve learnt and our work as regenerative farmers here on Bundjalung Country. We live on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal People of the Bundjalung Nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial. 0:00 The juiciest jambu harvests 1:03 Life in the rainforest 1:41 Picking mangoes 2:07 A summer afternoon picking fruit to cook 4:03 Cooking colourful tacos 6:59 A huge surprise! 8:40 Playing with a duckling 9:17 Down by the water 11:27 Gardening with a baby duck 13:35 Fruit trees and cheeky sheep 15:24 A misty morning in the forest 15:59 A happy ending
