    Short Property Description

    We are a 90 acre off grid property that produces goats for meat, alpacas for fleece and chickens for eggs using organic and regenerative principles of farming. Situated 20 kms south of Wagga Wagga, there are beautiful views all around. To get here from Sydney, Canberra or Melbourne, you can catch a train or bus to the Wagga Wagga Train and Bus Station and we will pick you up if you let us know in advance. Self drive guests are welcome. Wagga Wagga has an airport if you are flying in and pick up from the airport is available.

    Organic/Biological methods we use

    We use rotational grazing based on the condition of the paddocks, with regular fertilising with worm castings to assist in pasture improvement. We work on organic principles as much as possible and don’t use synthetic fertilisers. We practice regenerative principles combining animal grazing, slashing, and fertilising to improve the soil.

    Why I became a WWOOF Host

    I’ve learnt so much since buying this farm and I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learnt. I like to learn from others as well. I like to share my skills in small farms, regenerative practices and in spinning fleece grown on the farm.
