The Experience
We have a small hobby farm just outside of Gunnedah, NSW. We grow a large area of summer veggies and have a few cattle, chickens and Jack Russell puppy dogs. We have put in most of our Summer crops, picking should start by December. There is tractor driving to do or mowing with a zero-turn, Weed chipping, irrigating, sauce and relish making from our own produce and other chores associated with a farm lifestyle.

I had truly amazing time at the farm's. Rachel and Paul are funny, kind, open-minded, and they welcomed me with big, warm hearts which made me feel just like at home. They took well care of me during my stay and Rachel's cooks were truly amazing---chef's kiss. I cannot forget about 4 little puppies that made my travel very special to me. I will never forget about my stay at the farm's 'cause it was truly home away from home for me^-^. And I would recommend this 100%. Love you guys, Udval^-^

Rachel and Paul are great and they really made me feel like a part of their litte family. I've had a wonderful time learning a lot and seeing new things around the area, at the same time as I've experienced the life of a small aussie town. The work is not too hard, but still fulfilling, and in your spare time you get to enjoy the closeness of the nature in the countryside, or you can relax with the wonderful puppy dogs. It's a really nice place to stay, especially if you want a break from the busy big cities.

The farm is a great place if you want to learn more about farming and gardening and at the same time have a break from the big city life. It's quiet and peaceful and allowes you to relax. The hosts Rachel and Paul will definitely make you feel welcome and invite you to their every day life. You also get to meet the locals in the town and see the beautiful landscape around Gunnedah. Sometimes you will find yourself in the kitchen learning new recipes and how to take care of and preserve the veggies they grow.

I truly enjoyed my time with Rachel, Paul and their 4 dogs. I have been very welcomed and well fed during my 2 week stay. I will recommend the farm to travellers who are looking to wind down, to enjoy the quiet and local lifestyle. Thank you Rachel and Paul!

I had a wonderful time at the farm with Rachel and Paul. The work was very manageable and it was fulfilling to be able to contribute to their local business. And it was a perk when we got to eat the produce we picked! (The watermelon was my favorite - truly life changing lol). Rachel was incredibly kind and really cares about all the travelers she brings into her home. She made an effort to help me experience many aspects of Australia and include me in local events. I'm so thankful I got to spend time here and get to know her and everyone in this community 💛
