Meet the Bush Goddess ~ pennie scottPassion.....Energy.....Enthusiasm.....Fun......Feasting....and Laughing
With experience in naturopathic medicine, marketing, communications, writing and education - of herself and others - pennie is passionate about healthy soils, nutritious foods and farming systems which enhance biodiversity. A little more information about learning through experiences is contained in We see the World as we are. She was a founding member of the Network of Concerned Farmers www.non-gm-farmers.com and continues to campaign against the introduction of genetically modified foods. pennie loves collaborating with farming families in the growing of beautiful foods, especially through Holistic Management, Organic, Permaculture, Natural Sequence Farming and Pasture Cropping systems. Her academic activities include researching the influence of language in determining why farmers instigate quite different production activities and pennie's paper The Exploration of Language was presented at the 2007 International Farm Managers Association conference in Ireland. Since establishing Bush Goddess Foods in May 2008, the number of products sourced directly from farming families has quadrupled and continues to increase. Due to the short supply chain, these products are fresh and as they are chemical-free, have superior keeping qualities when compared to those grown with synthetic fertilisers and biocides. Many people now understand it is essential to know where the food you eat originates so you can know who grew it and, most importantly, how it has been grown so informed choices can be made on behalf of your own health and that of ecosystems and landscapes, and the health of our planet. pennie rides a ZZR600, lives with her lover, Alan Reid, has established an ecological garden (visited by at least 12 species of birds and many other critters) is the mother of five amazing sons - Jim, Charlie, Tom, Will and Andy - and the eldest daughter of her pin-up girl... her mother, Barbara Scott. The Goddess traditions are continuing with Charlie's daughter, Ruby and Jim and Danielle's son Joe, the new generation. Learning Through Your Mouth is the new workshop pennie has created using food as the vehicle to facilitate discussions about the choices we make about what goes into our mouths. With pennie, learning is fun and this workshop includes a workbook and a hands-on and in cooking exercise using produce from the immediate area......then everyone feasts together!

pennie scott grew up on her family's properties in central Victoria and the NSW Riverina and is grateful for the home-grown vegetables, fruits, mutton, beef, milk and eggs. Having the opportunity to taste pure, unadulterated foods, fresh from the source, has educated her palate to appreciate these flavours which now are her benchmark.
