Fearless Farmhouse is a therapeutic working farm in Bellbrae offering inclusive programs for people with additional needs and mental health challenges. We focus on animal-assisted therapy and maintain a massive community garden run by our NDIS participants and volunteer staff. Join us to care for our animals, help in the garden, and support an environment that fosters emotional resilience and life skills.
Due to the nature of our therapeutic programs, all WWOOFers must provide a valid Working with Children Check (WWCC) and a National Police Check before their start date.
We became WWOOF hosts to expand the reach and impact of our therapeutic farm. Our goal is to grow our community garden and increase our beehives so we can provide even more hands-on learning opportunities for our NDIS participants. We are also passionate about animal welfare and aim to rescue more animals that can join our therapy programs. By hosting WWOOFers, we hope to build a sustainable support system where every task, from weeding the garden to caring for our rescue,s ultimately helps us better support our participants in the long run. We want to share this rewarding journey with volunteers who are eager to help us grow both our land and our community.
Organic/Biological methods we use
We utilise nature-based learning and sustainable farming practices that prioritise the well-being of our participants and animals. Our massive community garden is grown using chemical-free, collaborative methods that encourage hands-on engagement for our NDIS participants. By hosting Surfcoast Bees, we support local pollination and maintain a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem on the farm. All our activities are designed to be inclusive, low-stress, and environmentally conscious.
