Our place is a rare breeds hobby farm, sustainable from paddock to plate. and practicing permaculture methods in our gardening. We care about the environment.
Originating from the UK we have been living on the Mid-North Coast for nearly 16 years. Both professionals in the OH&S and power industry.
We have natural native bee hives and an abundance of wildlife around us. I'm also a carer for WIRES, so you never know what native animal may be in care when you arrive! Willing to offer some limited advice on native wildlife care.
Ajuda
Always weeding! Help varies depending on the time of year, I prefer to discuss any projects personally before arrival. But in general work can be anything from, painting, fencing, weeding, house duties, digging up reeds in paddocks, picking up sticks in paddocks, building animal pens, renovating animal pens and sheds, cleaning windows, jet washing, dog training, emu training, car detailing.

Matt was amazing, worked so very hard, and did a great job of removing an out of control tree and hedges. But the best part was the photos! Goodness, such lovely photos and some of a dog which helped with his recent sale.
Matt would be a marvelous addition to any house hold, fully recommend.

So wonderful to see visitors so desperate for knowledge of our local flora and fauna. A couple of weeks after you left I received 3 tawny frog mouths and a kookaburra. The 3 tawny's have yet to leave the back deck as getting so spoiled! Was so lovely to host you both, I especially loved to hear you both talk so I can brush up on my English which… read more

It was one of those days that was just meant to be. Bumped into Kat on the beach in Woolgoolga just before my surf lesson, after an hour in the water together getting dumped and thrown about, she ended up coming home with me for the night. Kat did a great job of setting up an Instagram page for my little hobby farm, and hubby and I enjoyed… read more

Janine reached out to us and we made an unplanned stop to her farm. It was 100% worth it as we learned so much about sustainable farming and the lifestyle of raising your own food. Janine presented us with so many great opportunities and was very willing to show us around and ensured we had the best time (which we did!) Thanks for everything!

I had such a lovely time with Scott & Jess, was very sad to see them leave, such a shame I hadn't come across them earlier on in their travels. Two hard working, friendly people whom I hope return to Australia once they complete their studies in the UK. Wishing you both all the best Janine xxxx
