Farming methods
Short Property Description
Organic/Biological methods we use
We would like to be certified organic but in fact we are not “real” farmers. We simply run a few sheep to eat the grass and a dozen or so chooks to provide eggs. However in general we try to grow whatever we grow without use of chemicals or other pollutants. Our fruit trees mostly have come from a well known Permaculture man and he advised us when we first came here. We definitely turn as much as we can into good compost and try to build up and improve the soil by natural means. A local Angler’s Club have stocked our dam and fishermen regularly come here to fish.

Why I became a WWOOF Host
My daughter knew people in the early 1980’s who were WWOOFers and she suggested the idea to us when we moved to Pakenham in 2012. We enjoy meeting people from many different nations and cultures and we need as much help as we can get for the property.
