Pip magazine was started by Robyn Rosenfeldt in 2014 as a way to share practical and inspiring stories with like-minded people. Having recently moved to the far south coast of New South Wales with her young family, Robyn was looking for a way to incorporate her passion for permaculture and sustainable living with her background in photography and journalism. Living in a very small town there weren’t a lot of options, so after completing a permaculture design course she found her calling. To create a much needed Australian permaculture and sustainability magazine. There was an English one and an American one, but nothing for Australia or the southern hemisphere.
Being seven months pregnant and already having two small children meant she had to keep her ideas in the planning stage for a while. Two and a half years later, Pip was launched into the world.
Pip Magazine was originally funded through a crowdfunding campaign. Enough money was raised to pay for the first print run and that meant Pip could become a reality without starting in debt. Pledges came in from around the country from people who were excited about the idea of a magazine that would speak about the things they cared about. Many of those initial pledgers are still subscribing today.
Pip Magazine is published out of Pip HQ which is a converted barn on Robyn’s property. Robyn manages Pip with a small team and fits it in between, raising kids, growing food and some obligatory surfing to keep mind and body functioning.
The aim of Pip Magazine is to share ideas, information and inspiration about living more sustainably using permaculture principles. A visually beautiful publication, our gorgeous illustrations and photography inspire people to pick up a copy, and while flicking through it will find something that inspires them to make positive changes in their lives.
The articles are practical, clear and accessible; you don’t need to have extensive knowledge about permaculture or sustainability to get something out of it. But it is also relevant to those who are already living a sustainable life and want more ideas and inspiration.
Their articles encompass no-waste living, growing food, making compost, foraging, seed saving, preserving, fermenting, beekeeping, keeping chickens, green building, repair, DIY, crafting, recipes and much more.
