Host Profile
My Property
Business Type
Farming methods
Organic/Biological methods we use
Primarily a permaculture approach to the whole property. Utilising as much as I can without accessing new resources wherever possible. I have a focus on improving the soil according to the planned function and creating habitat regardless of how messy it looks to the human eye (of some). Retaining water on the property and creating more sustainable micro climates where sheep once ran, is my attempt to contribute to the landscape in a positive way. Growing abundant vegetables for personal and family use is also a focus.

Why I became a WWOOF Host
I have a long history of hosting international guests during our 32 years living in Castlemaine and being active with the Castlemaine State Festival. I have also hosted exchange students whilst my own children were at school. I am keen to share my skills in gardening, landscaping and mechanics.
