Chilli Donela | A New Generation of Regenerative Farmers and Thinkers

The Regenerative Journey with Charlie Arnott

Chilli represents the new generation of farmers, choosing a path dedicated to clean, nutritious food production and education at just 19 years old. Recognising that traditional schooling wouldn't provide the foundational knowledge she sought, Chilli, with her parents’ support, opted for distance education, using their backyard garden as her classroom. Her profound love for nature and a family health challenge deepened her commitment to self-sufficiency, propelling her on the next chapter of her regenerative journey—a new life in Tasmania.
