    Short Property Description

    Gardenfarm is a storybook farm in the lush hills of South Gippsland.  It has geese, chickens, orchards, sheep, cattle, and holiday accommodations, with a pristine stream meandering though it all.

    Bob Tatnell has developed the farm over 15 years, inspired by his mentors Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton.

    Gardenfarm is currently re-inventing itself as a park for a regenerative campervan community. We run wellness Retreats, engage with Landcare open days, and enjoy having guests staying over in cottages and our tinyhouse accommodation.

    Soon we hope to get back to growing and preserving food, our favourite thing, but we have been busy in recent years.

     

    Organic/Biological methods we use

    We hope to start Masanobu Fukuoka’s Natural Farming in 2025.

    Why I became a WWOOF Host

    I created this farm so I can live with beauty and meaningful work every day.  Beauty should be shared, and its fun having a team to make it with.
