Program Details
IMPORTANT: You will have to be self-contained in your own vehicle, swag or tent as there is no accomodation on the farm.
In the winter months, we generally don't host volunteers as the weather is not welcoming for camping. We usually set up our bell tent for spring and summer.
You will have access to power, limited rain water and drinking water, outdoor kitchen + some organic garden produce in exchange of 2 hours of your time for each night spent per adult. Weekends off. Minimum stay is 1 week, ideally 2 weeks or more for the right volunteers. Shared bathroom in the shed while we are building composting toilets + shower.
There are a few flat spots on the block to park your camper van or set up a tent.
Plenty of birds, emus and kangaroos roaming around.
Activities & Shift
You will learn about simple living, veggie growing, regenerative farming, permaculture and other interesting knowledge we are happy to share for the curious minds.
Rules
Campfire authorised ONLY during fire season (around April til October).
Simple respect, leave the place clean when you leave (camping spot, shared areas).
