Coorumbene Springs is the home of 100-odd sheep, a couple of horses and a cat, where I like to make WWOOFers feel welcome with sharing of work, meals and stories.
Varied work with gardens, animals, pasture care, maintaining tracks and paths in the bush, and maintaining sheds, fences and structures.
My husband and I were wwoofers for a year whilst travelling in Europe, and we enjoyed it so much. When we bought the farm we wanted to be WWOOF hosts so we could experience it again; the connection through work and long dinner conversations… plus of course we had lots of jobs to do. We had +120 wwoofers over about 12 years, many of whom stayed in touch as newfound friends. Now it’s just me, and after a couple of years’ break, I’ve decided I would like to welcome wwoofers back to this beautiful place!
Organic/Biological methods we use
Veggies are grown fully organic, focusing on worm compost and creating good soil.
Sheep are cared for as chemical free as possible whilst keeping them healthy (which means occasional drenching).
For the land, my aim is to use Holistic Management principles to aid fertility, biodiversity and drought resistance.
