Short Property Description
Qdos Arts is on 3 acres surrounded by Great Otway National park with loads of wild and bird life, a short downhill walk in the township and our famous surf beach.
We grow organic produce. Our gardens raise heirloom seedlings in the hothouse for the table. Work includes developing compost nutritional soils; we care for a large orchard do general property maintenance. We keep free range chickens and have our own bees, all to enhance the quality of our life and strive for sustainability.
Your accommodation is a small bungalow in the bush, we generally eat together all meals are provided.
Longer stays are better for us.
Generally in the winter months the ceramic studio gets busy for the annual kiln firing around August. So if your are interested in ceramics and wood firing kilns you will enjoy this.
Organic/Biological methods we use
General we use large worm farming techniques create volumes of vermicast the end-product of the breakdown of organic matter by earthworms. Working in with using eucalyptus bush debris and coffee grinds. Gardening we ‘love’ and enjoy eating fresh, often raw produce.
