Former law enforcement officer Marc Nash shares how he transformed an old dairy farm into a healing space for veterans, emergency service workers, and struggling single parents. From his peaceful hilltop overlooking the Latrobe Valley, Mark opens up about his own mental health journey and why he now offers free farm stays to those needing time to reset.
Key insights include:
• Finding peace through connection with the outdoors
• Creating safe spaces for processing stress and trauma
• Supporting emergency service workers' mental health
• Building resilience through farming activities
• Teaching kids life skills through rural experiences
• Making holidays accessible for struggling families
Perfect for:
• Emergency service workers seeking respite
• Veterans looking for peaceful retreats
• Single parents planning affordable getaways
• Anyone interested in rural mental health support
• Those seeking alternatives to traditional therapy
Through H&M Farming, Mark demonstrates how simple changes in environment - from city stress to farm peace - can create powerful shifts in mental wellbeing.
