Published: Sept. 29, 2020, 8:25 a.m.

When we got our first listener email, we were ecstatic! The fact that it was from a mutual friend of Darius and I was even better and we decided we must have her on the show!! Meet Millie! Millie grew up in Sydney and at age 18 drove nearly halfway across Australia to work for a man she had never met, riding racehorses in Kaniva, Victoria. After 12 months, she returned to Sydney to complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts / Bachelor of Arts at COFA / UNSW. Her heart never left the country and 15 years later, she is married to local farmer Travis raising three kids under five on the land. Travis and Millie in partnership with Travis's parents have a certified organic mixed farming enterprise, including 5000 merino sheep which Travis shears himself. Listen as we learn more about the life of a farmer's wife and what it's like living in a rural country town of Australia! You'll be as captivated as we were listening to Millie's wonderful tales of farm life.
