The experience in the farm is very good, the farm is in a beautiful and quiet landscape, perfect to walk around and see many parrots and kangourous ! Warren is very friendly, a heart as big as him ^^ thé place for helpers is perfect, very friendly and commode. The work is easy and we are in touch with the basic of the Society : produce food. Thank you Warren and Nathalie for inviting me, I hope to see you again :)

I'm glad I chose this place for my first volunteer experience, the farm has beautiful surroundings, ideal for those who prefer a quiet place away from the big cities. The house is comfortable and it has everything you need. Most of the activities are easy, and there's a lot of flexibility in how you complete your weekly hours, which I think it's very good. I learned a lot of new things and also had the opportunity to meet some truly amazing people. It was a great experience.

An absolutely wonderful farm experience. Warren and Natalie are incredibly warm and welcoming people. We learned a lot about how the farm works from them. All volunteers stay in a fully equipped house, complete with a TV, kitchen, bathroom, and washing machine. We have plenty of free time to explore the area and get to know the lovely animals and plants. I enjoyed a lot the peaceful surroundings, as well as the company of other backpackers . I highly recommend it if you're looking for an authentic farm stay

My time on the farm was lovely! it's a tranquil place on the outskirts of Perth, there's a lot of nature and kangaroos around that area :) the tasks were easy and even though we were working 20 hours a week, we also had plenty of free time. on your off days you can rent a car from Warren and explore by yourself, which is super fun. we usually did something altogether with other volunteers and planned our food shop on the same day. you also get $100 every week for food, which is very helpful. overall i had a great experience, met some lovely people and learned about farming :)
