About the experience in: Lockyer Valley Regional, Australia
Switzerland
I spent three weeks working on the farm and it was a truly great experience. As someone who has spent a lot of time on farms before, I found the work very fair and the accommodation simple but completely sufficient. If you’re not used to dirt or the presence of animals such as bats, mice, or cockroaches, you might need a little time to adjust.
Francine and Geoffrey are generous, open-minded people, and I enjoyed our many conversations. Helping with the move showed me that the new farm will become a great place.
It’s great to be reminded of how valuable resources like water and nature are!

This volunteer position is good for those who want to experience the farm work in Australia. The host was very welcoming, sharing everything they had with the volunteers. The working hours are respected and the tasks are not hard. Though the conditions of living may be unusual for some who are used to a different kind

Francine is a welcoming host with a beautiful property, she is fair with the hours but the tasks were a bit random at times. She is currently moving farms so I didn’t mind helping out but would have been nice to outline this beforehand.

The experience was incredible. Incredible people showed us new ways of living and interacting with nature, ways of working. They shared everything they had. Highly recommended. The work, although hard at times, was super bearable, and the food was delicious. Thank you 🫶

Great for travelers looking to dive into a real sustainability project. The host is welcoming and tries to make your stay comfortable, though the setup is different from what most are used to - and that's part of the charm. A car is useful, as there's lots of nature around. My visit was during an unusual time, so tasks felt a bit random. I'd suggest clearer task planning and better explanations of the systems and future vision.
