Short Property Description
We live on 20 acres on Crescent Head Rd, 7 km from beautiful Crescent Head, where we grow Lemon Myrtle organically but we are not certified. We started the plantation in 2001 with little knowledge of what it would take to grow it successfully. We have learned so much through the years! We do everything ourselves with the harvester we purchased in Western Australia (that my husband smartly fitted to cut Lemon Myrtle by adding a conveying belt) and a distillery unit Paul also built from scratch. For years, we produced very high quality pure essential oil but are now selling the leaves to a company who makes tea/spices with it… it is less labor intensive for us.

Why I became a WWOOF Host
We need help on the farm and are happy to meet people and share our knowledge of this particular australian native tree. We started farming in 2001 and have improved our knowledge and abilities to increase yield through the years. We are getting on with the years and would be happy to find enthusiastic people to help us trim the trees after harvesting.
