    Description

    We are a family of three - myself, my partner, and our young son - nestled in the heart of a 10-acre lush rainforest property. We are proud custodians of a myriad of fruit trees and are conveniently located near a breathtaking waterfall. Our land is not just our home but also our workplace and our playground. We are laid-back, love the great outdoors, and find joy in the tranquillity of our surroundings.

    Greetings from our vibrant and flourishing farm! We are excited to extend a heartfelt invitation to you to come and experience the joys of rural life as part of our farm family.

    At our farm, we strive to cultivate an environment where nature and community thrive in harmony. Each day is filled with tasks from planting to weeding to learning new skills. We really don't start very early in winter.

    By joining us, you'll have the chance to immerse yourself in a range of activities tailored to your interests and strengths. From tending to our vibrant vegetable gardens to participating in the innovative sustainable projects, your contributions will make a tangible impact.

    Here are a few highlights of what you can expect during your stay:

    1. Hands-on farming experience: Get your hands dirty as you learn about pesticide free farming practices, weeding and soil management.
    2. General Gardening - weeding, planting, sowing.
    3. Projects: Erection of a greenhouse
    4. Some outdoor painting
    5. Farm-to-table experiences: Savour the flavours of our farm-fresh produce and experience the satisfaction of enjoying meals made from ingredients you helped nurture.

    We look forward to welcoming you to our farm and embarking on this transformative journey together.

    To express your interest or ask any questions, simply send us an email, and Sonia or myself will be happy to provide you with further details.

    Get ready to embrace the rustic charm, the fresh country air, and the boundless possibilities of our farm.

    Join us and be a part of something truly extraordinary!

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We strongly believe in sustainable living and conservation of nature. We're passionate about passing on these values to anyone willing to learn, and also eager to learn from our workawayers. We welcome the exchange of cultures, ideas, and stories, and encourage a symbiotic relationship with nature and our fellow humans.

    Help

    We invite open-minded and respectful individuals to join our journey, to learn and grow with us. We offer a variety of tasks around the farm, including, but not limited to, pruning fruit trees, composting, building and maintaining infrastructure, and managing the general upkeep of our rainforest sanctuary.

    Though we are easy-going, we value dedication. We expect our helpers to be motivated, to follow instructions, and to treat our home and its surroundings with the utmost respect. We understand the value of doing tasks, but also the importance of relaxation and taking time to connect with nature, which is in abundance here.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Our workawayers will have access to comfortable accommodation in a tiny home, where they can rest after a day’s tasks. Details regarding food, accommodations, and other facilities will be provided upon inquiry. I was asked to detail here about food by Workaway and there's no space to be more specific so, breakfast is generally muesli, lunch is generally salad or sandwich and dinner is generally a hot meal.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Our property offers a quintessential experience of living in the heart of Mother Nature. Nestled amongst the verdant greenery, we grow a wide variety of fruits. The fragrance of ripening fruit, the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze, and the ambient sound of the nearby waterfall add a charm to our home that is truly unique and magical. We cherish the tranquility here and work hard to maintain and improve this beautiful ecosystem. We are 30 mins from normal shops and 5 from a Delhi. Public transport is difficult.
