Beth, Tim, and Mick we're fantastic hosts and we had an absolutely wonderful time at the farm! Work hours weren't explicitly stated/assigned, but Beth was very easy going about tasks and we quickly found a routine. She gave tasks that fit with our desires & personalities (i.e. weeding & organizing) and was always happy to let us change our tasks if we wanted to! It was great getting to see our progress positively impact the farm and learn more about country life in Victoria. Beth also took us into town & introduced us to lots of locals. We hope to come back soon!

What an amazing young woman! Logan is strong and committed with a great sense of humour and fun. She is extremely hard working and focused on any task you ask of her. She tackles everything with a 'can-do' attitude and does everything with precision. Logan and her partner Nina can only be described as pure sunshine, love and light!! Nothing seems too hard for them and they do not shy away from anything that needs doing. They are self motivated and work brilliantly as a team or as individuals.

We couldn't have asked for a better week with Beth at the farm. She was very welcoming and was very easy going about the work. We spent the morning weeding the Rose Garden and the rest of the of the time exploring the local area, getting to know her friends and eating some great food!

I don't know how to show my appreciation for everything I experienced here. This is a place where you don't need to ask what you have to do but you'll find something to do proactively due to warm atmosphere here! Also, the assigned tasks are very special for those who live in city✨ You'll definitely earn unique experiences here! Beth is a lovely person who listens and cares about others, she often checks people's feelings which is very sweet. I'll definitely visit here again and again since I feel like I have a beautiful home in VIC now💖

So far, I've had such a lovely time with Beth and the other volunteers at the farm. She's really making sure you're comfortable and have a good time. Working times are pretty flexible and are based on trust, so that gives you the opportunity to plan the days yourself. I'm obviously staying longer than I planned, because this place feels like one that you'd either not want to leave or come back to someday:)
