Détails du programme
Hello!
Our farm is a little gem in the Australian Bush and it’s a lovely place to live and work. We are a 3 generations family-operated tourist attraction that runs a farm stay accommodation in addition to our pottery, which includes a large studio space and gallery. Pilliga Pottery's daily workshops are very popular. We run a farm with sheep, goats and cattle and grow a lot of vegetables in our green house. We also bake our own bread and use many produces from the farm. Our Blue Wren Cafe is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Our community consists of full-time workers and volunteers and we come from all corners of the world. We always have a few volunteers all year round as well as seasonal workers in the holiday season. We generally eat most of our meals together.
Activités et horaires
The work we offer ranges from day to day, month to month and season to season.
Each volunteer is expected to work 4 hours per day in exchange for food and board. When working as a kitchen hand/waitress, you'll usually work from 9am-1pm to help prepare lunch for staff and clean the cafe/kitchen. You might also be assigned an afternoon shift from 1.30pm -2.30pm where you'll prepare ingredients, clean the coffee machine and clean the cafe/kitchen so it's ready for dinner service in the evening or the next morning.
If it is a bit quiet in the kitchen/cafe, we might ask for your help in another area such as gardening, in the pottery or in housekeeping and your hours might vary in that regard.
At 1pm, we all eat lunch together. If you've finished your hours for the day, you have the remaining time to explore the property, learn new skills in the pottery or just enjoy the sun and native birds.
Because we are a small family-business, the work we offer to our volunteers can change from day to day. You might have different tasks while you're here although your main responsibility would be housekeeping.
If you are flexible and take changes with a smile (within reason), you'll fit in perfectly with us at our farm and in our community.
Règles
We are a community with people from different countries, backgrounds and beliefs. It's important to respect everybody for who they are and embrace them as they are.
