Join Our Young Hobby Farm on the Coast 🌿
The experience
We’ve recently started a hobby farm on 27.5 acres of beautiful land by Wallis Lake, near Forster. Our daily routine includes milking our dairy cow and raising pigs.
We’re learning about permaculture principles and working hard to turn our property into a beautiful, sustainable farm. While we renovate the house and live simply, we’re excited to invite like-minded volunteers to join us in this journey and help bring the farm to life! 🌻✨
