The Producers: Gamila MacRury (Gamila at Beechworth) - connected to the land

How would you go farming for a year to end up with 200 grams of product? That’s life - in a good year! - for saffron farmer Gamila MacRury. As well as saffron, Gamila grows olives in Victoria’s High Country. She’s always been connected to the land - and especially this part of north-eastern Victoria - but Gamila trained as an engineer and worked in Melbourne before buying a 12-acre block. She’s steadily built an agribusiness around her two boutique crops and has found that the problem solving aspects of engineering have been a boon in her new life as a farmer. https://www.gamila.com.au Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
