Nourished Homestead is a Land for Wildlife property in Jimboomba. The area, known to be in a “rain shadow”, receives a lot less average annual rainfall than the greater Brisbane region. Doreen is implementing a permaculture design whilst still working full-time in her permaculture consulting business, with the aim to be off grid and more self-sufficient. Different regenerative planning and management techniques are applied.

There is an abundance of native trees and shrubs now compared to when she moved in, in March 2016. Different perennial growing systems, water harvesting earthworks, zero waste nursery/worm farm, a grey water garden, syntropics system, and wicking beds have been implemented. She also raises and harvest on-site her own ducks, geese, chickens, and utilise hot and cold smokers. On the property are several native and European honeybee hives.
