Short Property Description
‘Little Farm’ is a 17 acre lifestyle and hobby farm on the edge of Trentham in Central Victoria. The winters are very cold here, but the area grows excellent blueberries which are harvested on Little Farm from January to April. All horticulture on the property is conducted chemical free. 270 blueberries were planted in 2015 and have been producing well over the past few years though are lots of different opportunities for work on the property. Kangaroos are a problem on the property and fencing the out areas of the property is becoming more of a necessity as their number increase. The property is walking distance to town (about 20mins) which has a supermarket, bank, petrol station, sourdough bakery, lots of cafes and two hotels.

Why I became a WWOOF Host
I need the help and I enjoy the company. I’ve been developing the property on my own with help from local gardeners and labourers on and off for the past 10 years. It’s been challenging, but as time goes by things are starting to take shape and some of the major obstacles are looking less daunting. I’ve worked as a wwoofer myself, particularly during 2005 when I spent six months in the UK and France travelling and working on five different properties. I feel like it’s the right time to engage wwoofers on my own property for many reasons, but especially to help move projects forward on my property.
