A little update from me 🌱

First up, apologies I’ve been a bit quiet this past month! Between the house, solicitors, businesses in two countries and everything in between (eg kiddos), it’s been a LOT.

Last week was also Brother Browns anniversary, and some recent events have hit a little close to home. It’s been a big few weeks so thought I’d show some vulnerability and let ya know I still love yas 🤭

Thank you for all the love and birthday wishes. I appreciate that more than you know…

Annnd Brisbane next week! If we haven’t arranged a catch-up, please yell out 🤎

Just have to acknowledge my darling Brother Brown.
7 years since he left.
7 years of the worst pain.
7 years of bittersweet relief seeing him live through his nephews and niece.

This week has been full on, but he’s along for the ride, we know it 🤎

Hi team… We’re back after a huge coupley weeks between Brisbane and Auckland.

A few days with Mum in Brisbane, looking at houses, getting our current one on the market, getting a ridiculous amount of work done, meetings, driving 2000kms, a bit of R&D, and doing it all with a mix of city and beachside views, not a bad place to do the admin.

Managed to squeeze in some time with a few of my pals too, which was much needed amongst all the chaos.

There have been some pretty big moves happening behind the scenes. The farm and Brown Acres are officially up for sale, which is definitely bittersweet. There’s a lot for us to carry at the moment and a lot of moving pieces, but bit by bit it’s all getting done.

Oh and some pretty cool news… my big fella has been offered a place at Nudgee College in Brisbane 💙🤍

So proud of this kid. The hard work, resilience and determination he’s shown has got him here. Not to mention a little support, persistence and clearly some genetic talent from his mama 😂

Getting to just hang out, laugh, eat, banter, and then experience a Nudgee 1st XV game in the sun.
The atmosphere, the tradition, the rugby, the whole place. Pretty bloody special standing there knowing this could be part of his next chapter.

Then we were off to Auckland for his Rabbitohs pathways week. A few more hundred kms, car meetings, car naps (for him) and we’re home.

There’s still plenty to work through between here and QLD, but one thing about me… when I say I’m doing something, it’s happening, ya ain’t seen nothing like my determination 🤎

Happy birthday Brother Brown 🤎08/09/89 but forever 30…Wish you were here to enjoy and also be my rock through everything...

Happy birthday Brother Brown 🤎

08/09/89 but forever 30…

Wish you were here to enjoy and also be my rock through everything that’s happened since…
This year has been a wild ride, just like our Brisbane to GC days (where most of these pics were taken), but I know you’re here and see it. Your nephews and niece know you’re around-they all have such similar and random traits of yours.

So proud and grateful to have your name coming along for the ride with us 🤎

Jess doing Jess things 🙄
I really don’t belong in a university setting 😂

Here’s the overstimulated rage face 😏
Managed to injure the same ankle again, so off to the sports doc, while also attempting to clean and declutter the house ready for photos.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s shown interest in the house/land and/or Brown Acres NZ. The house sale is a priority so will be on the market over the next few days, so if you have any questions, flick me an email.

Also… I’m back in QLD next week! If we’ve talked about meeting and I haven’t locked you in yet, please let me know 🤎

Well… I guess it’s official 🌱🇳🇿🇦🇺

A very bittersweet little Brown Acres update, and the beginning of a pretty exciting next chapter.

Brown Acres isn’t going anywhere. In fact, I think we’re only just getting started…

If the property or Brown Acres NZ might be of interest to you, flick me a message 🤎

We grow lots of mini things here at Brown Acres…

Mini greens,
Mini hoomans,
And mini cows 🤭

This is Loose Louie, who was originally Lucy when we thought he was a she. I tube/bottle-fed him from day one, and two years later he’s still out here doing zoomies across the paddock when he hears my Mum voice.

It’s -2°C, and harvest day… lucky the microgreens are tucked up warm in their controlled environment and still growing, despite the frost 🌱

Sitting in the Koru Lounge, off to Auckland and then Kerikeri to support my big guy and his Te Toka Tū o Waitaha Māori Rugby League team at this weekend’s tournament… Hard to believe this little guy used to help me harvest greens and pack orders.

The last few months have been a whirlwind of business planning, Queensland conversations, meetings, pitches and trying to work out what the next chapter looks like. But times like this are a good reminder of why we do it all.

I’m incredibly proud of this young man and the work he’s put in to earn his place in the team.

Looking forward to watching him and his teammates represent their whānau, clubs and communities over the next few days.

We are at the Farmers2Founders Agritech Accelerator this week... I'm definitely the non-techie with the soil-covered laptop.

Six years ago I started Brown Acres growing microgreens in New Zealand, today I'm in Brisbane exploring how microgreens, controlled-environment agriculture and nutrition innovation can help shape future food systems.
A good reminder that innovation doesn't always begin with code...

Sometimes it starts with a seed 🤭🌱

Looking forward to pitching tonight.
