Description
We live on 40 beautiful acres in Blue Knob (near Nimbin). The property has many native Australian fruit trees including Finger Limes, Davidson Plums and Lemon Aspen. The accommodation is self contained, spacious and private, with stunning views out over the native gum forest. We bought the property in 2017 and need help to get the farm up to scratch using biodynamic principles. We also run a graphic and web design business from home and have a friendly (and ball obsessed) Kelpie named Buddy.
