    Short Property Description

    FNQ Blooms is a Tropical flower farm with 15 acres under plant and new plantings every year between September and February. We harvest flowers every Friday and Tuesday.
    We love meeting new Travelers and have had many over the years which have become part of our family. We welcome our woofers to participate in social events like BBQS, meals with friends to be included in our everyday life. We also welcome all our travelers to cook meals from their home country as well as showing them how to cook true Aussie meals.
    If you have any special talents, we love to know about them.
    Our meals are usually cooked together. We are meat eaters, but all so love vegetarian meals, everyone cooks together to create some fantastic meals.
    Travelers are welcome to come shopping for weekly grocery’.
    We do prefer that travelers stay a minimum of 2 weeks. This amount of time is needed for travelers to settle into our family and learn about the jobs to be done.
    We ask woofer workers to work for 5 to 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. Work starts around 6.30 or 7.30 in the morning and finishes about 1 to 2 in the afternoon with 40 mins breakfast break at 9 or 10 am. The work is constant with that of Farm hand Duties.
    We will all so do a bit of florist work as well no skills needed as I will show you. Look us up on all socials!

    Organic/Biological methods we use

    Our practices to becoming a sustainable farm is we look after our soil and it will look after our plants. Our soil is a sandy granite soil with little holding compacity of water or fertilizer and little life in it. To be able to farm this land  with a crop that needs a lot of both water and fertilizer we looked towards the organic matter in the soil to build on what we had we add a by product from the sugar mill called mill mud and fly ash this give the soil a bit of holding compacity we add micro organisms and feed them with fish humus and the leaf and grass matter from the plants.
