Life at Tau Farm has become one long episode of "What's going to happen today?" This month started with us taking Emma out for dinner. On the drive home through the Dinokeng Big Five Game Reserve, we spotted something we'd wanted to see for ages—an aardvark casually wandering down the road like it had nowhere better to be. We were ridiculously excited. We're not entirely sure...]]></description><link>https://www.taufarm.co.za/post/proof-that-farm-life-is-never-boring</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a6207ea532301fe59f4bec5</guid><pubDate>Thu, 23 Jul 2026 12:38:51 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/db92bc_75806b837e8f4c9497d2df5a2822769f~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_280,h_471,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>The Wilsons</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Wilsons: We moved to the bush...what could possibly go wrong?]]></title><description><![CDATA[When people dream about moving to the bush, they picture breathtaking sunsets, wildlife wandering past the deck, coffee with incredible views and a slower pace of life. They're absolutely right... They just forget to mention the rest. Nobody tells you that you'll become emotionally attached to an inverter, that checking the weather app becomes a personality trait, or that squirrels will eventually become your landlords. We've reached the point where the first thing we check every morning...]]></description><link>https://www.taufarm.co.za/post/the-wilsons-we-moved-to-the-bush-what-could-possibly-go-wrong</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4f3c43eb09451ed9ae360b</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jul 2026 06:23:14 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/db92bc_6c1897d19a644c23aa3d9dbaf119343b~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>The Wilsons</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cabin Chaos, Curious Critters &#38; The Great Noodle Rescue.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Life on the farm has settled into what we can only describe as our version of "normal"... which, as it turns out, is anything but normal. The cabin makeover has officially begun! Gone are the darker timber walls, and in comes a fresh whitewashed interior that's already transformed the space. It's amazing what a coat of paint can do. The cabin suddenly feels brighter, bigger, and far more like the peaceful bush retreat we'd imagined. Now comes the dangerous part... decorating. You know, the...]]></description><link>https://www.taufarm.co.za/post/cabin-chaos-curious-critters-the-great-noodle-rescue</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3f6a58d3770ea960ecad33</guid><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 06:27:07 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/db92bc_3c445e9ed34a4d04b34d5b4705744475~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_862,h_562,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>michelle3747</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nine light bulbs, one wheelbarrow and a lively bunch of squirrels....]]></title><description><![CDATA[Everyone dreams of their first night on a farm. Peaceful sunsets. The sounds of nature. A glass of wine under the stars. Reality, as we discovered, had slightly different plans. We arrived full of excitement, only to discover that Bruno had declared war on the garden statues. Apparently, in his mind, they were highly suspicious intruders who had infiltrated the property while we weren't looking. He spent a considerable amount of time bravely defending us from these silent stone enemies....]]></description><link>https://www.taufarm.co.za/post/nine-light-bulbs-one-wheelbarrow-and-a-lively-bunch-of-squirrels</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a327170a1eb3b1f7b132f4a</guid><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:16:54 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/db92bc_dea8dbd67f9645e6ba9d8d176d07e21b~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_357,h_231,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>The Wilsons</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[We bought a farm... Apparently, we are farm people now.]]></title><description><![CDATA[There’s a moment in every city person’s life where they say something wildly unrealistic like, “Wouldn’t it be nice to just buy a farm?” Usually, that thought passes somewhere between traffic, load shedding, and ordering sushi. For us… It didn’t. We actually bought the farm. Not metaphorically. Not emotionally. An actual, real-life farm with hectares, wildlife, grass, fences, and birds loud enough to replace alarm clocks forever. And just like that, it is mild panic, big dreams, and...]]></description><link>https://www.taufarm.co.za/post/we-bought-a-farm-apparently-we-are-farm-people-now</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a199d7c2cf7d1d449f20da2</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 14:20:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/db92bc_1f2f32005b654528bc48338e1278328d~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>The Wilsons</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dust, Decor &#38; Country Life.]]></title><description><![CDATA[A New Chapter Begins at Tau Farm There’s something special about old places with stories woven into their walls. The kind of places where mornings arrive slowly, where birdsong replaces traffic, and where nature quietly reminds you to breathe a little deeper. That’s exactly what drew us to Tau Farm — and why becoming the new owners feels less like buying a property and more like becoming caretakers of something meaningful.

One minute you’re dreaming about slow farm mornings and peaceful sunsets, and the next you’re standing in the kitchen wondering why you own fourteen coffee mugs, three broken extension cords, and a drawer full of takeaway sauce packets from 2021.
