Beautiful permaculture farm in the heart of Gippsland. We are a self-sufficient property with an extensive mixed orchard (apple, pear, figs cherries, berries, persimmon…), vegetable and herb gardens as well as various livestock (Chicken, Sheep, Ducks) & Bees. The property is roughly 15ha and includes bushland as well as 5 dams with plenty of yabbies to catch and a river (fishing possible in your free time), You can fish for Eel, Carp, Fresh water Crayfish, Yabbies, Trout & Red Fin only 50 meters from the door. And we have 2 super cute Puppies running around…
We offer a unique experience as well as luxury accommodation ( your own bedroom, bathroom, and living room) I will be cooking most of the time as I used to be a professional chef in Germany & Switzerland, I have worked for Michelin Star restaurants in both Switzerland & Germany, so will be mainly European cookings and my wife would make something Asian from time to time.
Work will include anything from fruit picking to gardening and animal care, cleaning & property maintenance, as you will have to also keep your rooms clean and keep the kitchen clean after use. You will be learning everything about sustainable farming on a non-commercial level and gain first-hand experience at the same time, which will help you when you create your self-sufficient lifestyle in the future ….
I came to Australia as a backpacker myself and had an amazing experience while doing wwoofing 12 years ago. Now that I have my own organic farm I would like to share it and give other people the same opportunity. Who knows they might end up being farmers like me in the end
