It's her third attempt at retiring from work, but she's hoping to succeed this time.

Formerly a management consultant for Top 100 companies like AMP, Commbank and Priority 1, she dropped out of the high stress lifestyle over a decade ago and began studying horticulture at TAFE.

Her teacher, Mark Percival, encouraged her to take up blueberry farming.

She bought a few acres at Talarm, seven kilometres from Macksville, and began reconditioning the soil and getting started on the slow, intricate process of attaining organic certification.

By 2017, she was winning prizes for her blueberry produce using berries from other local growers while eagerly anticipating her first crop.

The following year, Blushing Blueberries and its certified organic berries, condiments, sauces and cordial was chosen for the 2018 Fine Food Australia expo.

Sandi has 1000 plants under white netting and last month finished bringing in the spring crop.

She said good drainage, swales and well-conditioned soil meant the recent flooding rain left hardly any damage.

The integrated pest management strategies she employs, which involve getting "good bugs to kill bad bugs", horticultural white oil, fruit fly traps and a certain amount of good old-fashioned hand squishing, are working well.

"I do everything I can to encourage the good guys," she said. "When people come out here and walk through the rows, they say, 'There's so many spiderwebs!' And I say, 'Yes, it's great.'"

But like any rural property it all takes work, and she feels like she's had enough of that.

"I'm going to retire," Sandi said. "I'd like to do some travelling."

Sandi's house with its certified organic blueberry farm is listed with Nambucca Valley Property.
