Descripción
We are Mick and Leticia, who live in the main homestead, which is a beautiful land space of 6000 acres of natural native land at Springsure, Central Outback Queensland, surrounded by gorgeous daily views of a part of the property. The main homestead is approximately 50 metres from the original house where our staff and volunteers stay.
At the heart of everything we do is using systems that promote land regeneration, free range animals and pure, non tampered with fruits and vegetables. Our focus is on using Natural Sequence Farming, time controlled grazing and Joel Salatin's farming principles which mimic natural ecosystem processes.
Our Farm is open for volunteers to assist with animal management - mustering cattle, feeding the pigs and moving the chickens. Building and/or maintaining infrastructure - constructing leaky weirs, fixing fences and assisting with property development, and gardening. We aim to become completely self sufficient and are in the current process of a large scale redesign and upgrade which includes updated plans for farm homestays, retreats, weddings and holding space for workshops and seminars. All promoting Healthy soil, Healthy food, Healthy people.
Having volunteers join us, we hope this to be a mutually beneficial arrangement. Providing a rewarding, hands-on experience for the volunteers while we receive much appreciated help around the farm.
We offer comfortable accommodation, amenities and food and are confident volunteers will gather knowledge in a friendly farm stay environment.
