With integrity and a deep commitment to their community Kay and Gregg Saarinen had been farming and creating their Saarinen Organics skincare range according to permaculture principles for 20 years, when the 2019 Black Summer fires wreaked havoc on their land, business and mental health.  They decided to pack up and start a new life somewhere else, but with just the right help and by taking things slowly, one year on, they have a renewed vigour for the way they grow and a desire to keep producing their wares and seek new and innovative ways to package, produce and please their exceptionally loyal customers
