Description
Hi and welcome
We are a family of 4, living on a farm in beautiful subtropical South East Queensland.
I am originally from Slovenia and moved to Australia about 7 years ago now. My husband is born and breed Australian and together we have 2 cheeky boys aged 4&6. .
Our farm is organic and in line with permaculture and regenerative principles. We are striving to a self-sufficient life style with our own spray free fruits and vegetables.
Everything we grow is for our own consumption and preserving.
We are in the early stages of regenerating an old cattle property and it is our goal to create a little patch of paradise filled with all sorts of exotic trees and plants.
We are looking for people who would like to join us on this journey and enjoy Australian family farm life at the same time.
We have our 'Mango motorhome" ready for a couple or singles allowing a private living space when you join us.
We offer accommodation and food for 3 hours of help per day, but we are also very flexible so different arrangements can be made.
You are welcome to go into the gardens and pick your own fresh vegetables and fruit, whatever is in season. There's an option for you to cook your own meals if that's something you prefer but you're also welcome to eat with us and try some Slovenian and Australian fusion meals.
Theres always work to do on the farm so we have different jobs for everyone.
If you prefer to work outside there's gardening, tree planting and maintenance, food forest installation, weeding, harvesting, chopping, mulching, ect.
If you'd prefer smaller jobs inside there's general house cleaning, pantry and fridge, cooking, preserving, baking...
If you have any special skills like electrical, plumbing, excavator knowledge, truck licence, can drive a tractor, you're a hairdresser ect we can use some help in that 😉
These are just examples but hopefully it gives you an idea and opportunities 😊
We are very easy going, love music and great conversations, love cooking on a bbq and enjoy the serenity of rural living.
Our farm has an easy excess and is next to the main highway.
It's located 1hr from Hervey bay, 1hr from Rainbow beach and is sitting just 2.5hrs north of Brisbane.
There are busses that run to Maryborough from where we can pick you up.
Thank you for viewing our profile and hope to hear from you!!

Love Ursa, Jax, Kal and Marcus
Overall it was an amazing experience and we definitely recommend her to anyone.
She was a much needed help in the house, doing housework like vacuuming, cleaning and washingdishes. She organized our fridge too which was amazing. Easy to work with and great with the boys. Very proactive, she could see what needed doing and went for it. We had a great time with her… read more

Thank you both for great energy, conversations and laughs.

This family is one HELLUVA family!
Ursa (and her cooking) will have you reminiscent of home and nurturing. From deep chats about life, a laugh where there could be tears, and just emanating love in all aspects. Jax and Kal are two highly vibrant, but pure and loving children, keen to play, learn and teach, all the… read more
We clicked right away and she really felt like a part of our family in no time.
She was great to work with, she did her jobs and helped with everything and anything. She was also amazing with my boys and they are definitely missing her.
I recommend her to anyone and if I could I'd give her more stars 😊
If you're looking for a reliable worker, who's easy going and fun to be around, you won't go wrong with Tom 😊
All of us wish you all the best… read more
Work wasn't heavy, I helped mostly with mulching and with Marcus we cleaned up area around. I even operated one time excavator! =)
Sleeping place in a van under mangoes trees is amazing! There are a lot of rainbow lorakeets (parrots) which play all of the time and a bit noisy but look so cute!
