Saturday lunch at Faerieland

About 15 minutes from our place, towards the Border Ranges National Park, is Faerieland, an intentional community of 8 people who identify as gay, queer and/or faerie. They have about 150 acres of former dairy farm which they are slowly changing into forest and productive land for veges.
This is Midgee, a friend of our friend, Shane, and it was Midgee's birthday lunch on Saturday. There would have been about 50 people feasting on lots of delicious food in the glorious sunshine. Midgee is standing in the middle of his vege garden.
He has spent the past couple of years building his octagon home. It's still not finished but not too far from completion. It will basically be sleeping quarters as most of the living and cooking/dining is done in the old farmhouse that serves as the social centre of the community.
The view from the front balcony is pretty gorgeous.
As you can imagine, Faerieland contains lots of quirky detail. This mosaic forms the path from the parking area into the old farmhouse. Absolutely beautiful.
