Rules

Be respectful in helper house of others sharing house. Move around quietly after 10pm at night and no loud music while others try and sleep. No drugs. No smoking near greenhouses and wash hands after smoking, we prefer non smokers if possible for tobacco related plant virus reasons. Hot days in summer a early start to help is a good idea, then rest in the middle of day. Please come to our farm because you would enjoy a farm stay and enjoy a farm/nature experience, if you are looking to meet lots of other backpackers and party then the farm stay might not be for you. We welcome singles and encourage couples as they are content with each other and not looking so much to meet others. Be happy and respectful and we will treat you the same🙂
