Lisa & Michael
Yandoit Farm is a beautiful 140 acre organic natural farm in Central Victoria and is part of the thriving local communities of Castlemaine, Hepburn & Daylesford. We follow permaculture principles and best practice regenerative farming techniques.
We embrace a natural life connected to the land as a path for fun, health and happiness. Our farm is a positive, supportive place where everyone feels hugged. So come and experience great community, learning, conscious & sustainable farm life and lots of fun.

Why I became a WWOOF Host

We love supporting young travelers interested in nature and nurturing the environment. We have lots to share and enjoy good company, friendship and fun. We are LBGT++ friendly.

Organic/Biological methods we use

We are working towards regenerative agroforestry as the key direction for the farm. We are an uncertified (well beyond) organic farm, focused on re-mineralising and regenerating the land through forestry, annual and perennial food systems and small diversified stock management, cattle mostly at the moment.
Working with friends and our local community we follow permaculture principles and best practice regenerative farming techniques.
Apart from complete immersion into a sustainable homestead lifestyle visitors will also have an opportunity to learn about and gain practical experience in a wide range of other natural sciences, like regenerative agroforestry, Keyline systems, water management, mycology (mushrooms), setting up natural food systems, sourdough bread, preserving, fermentation and a bunch of other stuff.
