WELCOME TO PATRICENEWELL.COM.AU

JULY 2010

Hello from Patrice and all of us at Elmswood Farm.

Our 2010 garlic crop is in the ground and doing very well. Perfection expected in November.

Apologies - but we have absolutely 100% sold out of our 2009 garlic crop and can confirm we have no seed stock for sale either. We’ve even bought more seed stock ourselves to test new varieties for our harsh conditions.

This year I have also started post graduate studies at Newcastle University where I’ll be looking into 'Biochar' - a process that turns biological material into a way of storing CO2. Many believe it will be a major help in combating climate change. I’ll be adding information to this site as my work progresses. But my studies may slow down answering emails.

A letter from Roger Sternhell

Thank you Patrice.

You’re a brave farmer, entertaining my mad fruiterers ideas from cyber space.
But most of all, thanks for your genuine integrity and commitment behind your sustainable practices and the remarkable quality that you produce.

Thanks for having a go, of being proud of what you have achieved at Elmswood and sharing your story and most importantly for the booty itself.

All this fuss over web sites, on line ordering, credit card facilities, banks and information technology, Australia Post and the production of getting your fine produce, directly, efficiently and reliably from your farm to deserved diners’ kitchens is worthy of support, endorsement and excitement.

All the tasks have been a pleasure. It's been like ten years of Dynamic Organics all rolled into one.

Anyhow, enough of my banging on, there is so much more to read, I do hope you enjoy the fascinating story of Patrice Newell and Elmswood Farm in cyber space.

Regards, Roger
