The Farm is an experimental project encompassing regenerative agriculture, bush regeneration, permaculture, sustainability, and community living. Our farm is set on 810 acres of stunning wilderness and farmland on the east coast of Australia. We aim to embody the permaculture principle of “we are nature working” and develop a deep understanding and respect for the land we steward, all the time aiming to regenerate the earth and learn from her and each other. We have a large veggie garden that provides all our vegetables, an orchard, herb garden, native food forest and silvopasture area. Animals that call the farm home include beef and dairy cattle, chickens, worms, bees, 2 dogs called Misty and Milo and lots of wombats and kangaroos! Some projects we are working on include bush regeneration, securing our water, solar, roads, fencing, designing new infrastructure, timber mill and house fit out. We’re hoping to start a few earth building projects this year using materials sourced entirely from the property.

Why I became a WWOOF Host
We joined WWOOF as we love sharing our lifestyle and inspiring others to live well, grow their own food, raise animals ethically and tread lightly on the planet. We have hosted dozens of volunteers over the past few years and love meeting new people from all over the world who can share their skills and experiences with us, as well as learn new ones from us. We consistently get great feedback about the range of activities we offer to volunteers so it’s been really inspiring, for them and for us, to consistently develop new projects that we can all learn and grow from.
