Short Property Description
We have a small house on a half-acre block under biodynamic practices for 30 years. There are around 45 fruit trees and vegetable gardens currently being prepared for spring planting. Until recently my partner made BD compost as a home business, but now just for our garden due to physical limitations of age. We are keen to work with woofers who are interested to help and learn, there is a lot of weeding to keep our garden in order. I was in the past a Steiner Waldorf teacher, supporting a very small country school which has now grown and was relocated to our nearest town 12kms away. We travel several times per week to town to provide learning support one-0n-one to a small number of teenagers, but this is limited by my physical challenges. We are involved in many groups of interesting people which we attend when winter limits our gardening time. We do not keep any animals on our property and are visited by many varieties of bird-life.
Organic/Biological methods we use
Jakob learned biodynamic gardening many years ago and taught his skills of compost making in Asia. He still has the skills in his body to demonstrate his methods, but his speech decline is becoming more challenging.

Why I became a WWOOF Host
My Partner and I of 40 years travelled around Australia in a van with two little girls as a wwoof family. We found meeting people and making new friends a wonderful experience and are now keen to be hosts, not only to have some help with our long-beloved house and land, but also to meet new friends and learn from their travel experiences and philosophies of life.
