We have a 50 ha farm in the Gympie Hinterland, just north of the Sunshine Coast. We practice regenerative agriculture, permaculture, syntropic style organic gardening and live a permie lifestyle. we grow most of our own food and preserve our excess. We would like to share our knowledge with the younger generation.
To share our knowledge and skills with the younger generation to ensure that organic farming and lifestyle choices are not lost in a modern world. Lucy is a very good cook and is happy to share and teach any cooking skills that may be required, or to encourage wwoofers to cook if they want to. We are ultimately looking for a young couple that would like to live on our farm for an extended period and perhaps to start their own farming activity. There are also job opportunities in Gympie if this was of interest – living on the farm and swapping work for accommodation. The accommodation is in a separate building a little distance from the house. You must be comfortable sleeping away from the main house. There is internet service in the accommodation.
Organic/Biological methods we use
Permaculture, regenerative grazing, organic vegetable growing, syntropics. Planting trees to revegetate an over-cleared property. Natural sequence farming using contours and land management are also tools used.
