Short Property Description
7 acre small holding in the Sunshine Coast hinterland near Maleny. We are trying to grow vegetables organically, we have a number of fruit trees, and a large garden area.
We have been on the property for five years and have found it quite a struggle having discovered just how much work is involved getting started. The veggie patch had a full soil assessment, we added the right minerals and set up the beds. Our results have been mixed but we have had a few challenges with the weather!
There have lots of animals including some gorgeous miniature goats and alpacas. The goats are so much fun to work with as they are so friendly.
We also have chickens, Guinea Fowl and ducks.

Why I became a WWOOF Host
A friend, who is a fanatical organic gardener and who set up her own soil testing business, introduced me to her 2 WWOOFers.
She recommended that I become a host. I have been struggling to get everything done so having some help around the property would be great.
