- "Enough is when your stomach is full, enough is when you're warm and you have time to love each other, to communicate, that's enough." One with nature, Roni Cohen's self-sufficient home and garden is everything he ever hoped for.

Roni and Cathy Cohen experienced the Kangaroo Island bushfires in early 2020, after this story was filmed.
Fire threatened their property twice.
The second time a large part of the property burnt, but they were able to save their house, two netted orchards and some of the vegetation near the house.

Roni runs a self-sufficient productive farm, with a large enclosed edible garden with raised beds, large pots and fruit trees.
Behind the house in an old milking shed Roni produces and extracts honey from multiple hives of Ligurian bees.
The house itself was hand built using mud bricks and rammed earth. The uprights were made from fallen timber, foraged and repurposed.
"I don't like straight lines," Ronnie says, "there are no straight lines in nature." They try to blend in to share their property with the birds and spiders and other visitors, though they try to keep the inside to themselves.
Roni was born on the Gaza strip in a refugee camp, surrounded by barbed wire. He grew up on a kibbutz, Karmia, in Israel where he learnt to plant vegie gardens and trees.
For Ronnie, this self-sufficient haven, tucked away on Kangaroo Island is a dream come true.

This should be a 1hr doc. Such lovely haven. And i love his definition of enough.
Absolutely agree
Agrree. I want more!
This is beautiful, what a great story. All Australians should be self sufficient, plant trees and take a leaf out of Roni's book. I believe we all should disconnect from social media and electronic devices and reconnect with nature.
Can’t agree with you more!
Thats the best definition of enough I think I've heard. Great video!
Good one GA. More of this sort of thing. What a fantastic setup he's got.
What a beautiful property, very inspiring! Could watch videos like this all day!
I absolutely loved this video. Truly, it is my favourite you have ever shared. With the changing climate, and indeed the changing world, I would love if you shared more features like this, to help inspire us all to make shifts towards sustainability and self sufficiency. Also - slightly envious of Sophie that she got to visit this spot! I hope they recover after the fires, and the surrounding bush is able to regenerate 🙏🏼
Some day I wanna live on this place
That’s so beautiful
What a great clip. Inspiring and amazing human being. Happy with simplicity and live as it is. Thank you for filming this.
Great! Any chance to know the dimensions of the netted orchards? Especially height?
Once the population explosion gets there, the wilderness and wildlife will be in peril.
Its a small island, access only by ferry. Most of it national park, not going to happen.
Wow beautiful they seem so contented i would love to visit there
I love his philosophy for what's enough in life! Full stomach, warm clothes, and time with loved ones! I would just add shelter then what more do you need!
I wonder when this was filmed? I hope they were safe from the fires.
Hi Mikaela, Roni and Cathy Cohen experienced the Kangaroo Island bushfires in early 2020, after this story was filmed. Fire threatened their property twice. The second time a large part of the property burnt, but they were able to save their house, two netted orchards and some of the vegetation near the house.
Thank you for letting us know.
@@GardeningAustralia Thank you for letting us know! Wish them well.
I need more info. I want to know more about their property and what that contraption was with the honey? I feel like you do a lot of great stories but they just are not long enough. Can we do some follow-ups? longer documentary length videos? Or links to businesses or passion projects, anything really. My stomach doesn't feel full yet ;)
Fantastic place! Can I stay a season and learn from them?!
Amazing
Encore! ENCORE!!! 🌞🌞🌞☕☕☕😎😎😎💤
Wow i like yo have one like that😀
What an awesome video. I'm on the some page and growing as much as I can and in the near future hope to be around 70 percent self sufficient. It make me wonder what difference it would make if only 50% of people would start to live live this.
Simple, Beautiful, excellent living! I love everything about it. Thank you for this share.
Heaven
I'm wondering if the netting would affect pollenators?
Such a beautiful story! 💗💗💗
The Jewish promise land !
How did they fare in the fires?
Your garden is an inspiration.
Was this place hit by the fires
I would like to know as well!
Unfortunately yes. Apparently a fair bit of their land was burnt but they saved the house and a couple of the netted gardens.
Stunning 💜
Gorgeous!
👍🏼
