Dettagli del programma

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.


Attività e turni

Each volunteer is expected to work 4 hours per day in exchange for food and board. When working in the garden our doing maintenance, your work hours will vary depending on when it's most comfortable to be outside - in summer it's usually in the morning or afternoon and in winter it's usually from 9am-1pm. If there are no jobs in the garden or with maintenance, we might ask for your help in another area such as housekeeping, help out in the pottery or in the kitchen 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.
