Beschreibung
Sleepy Hollow farm is Paul, Sharon & Lottie’s home and has been established over the last 10 years. We are a Christian homeschooling family keen on self sufficiency and organic practices. Amongst a menagerie of different creatures, we run 2 milking cows and 2 pigs, handful of sheep and 2 x alpacas. We also process the wool (Paul is a shearer)and enjoy spinning it and if interested you can learn that too. We have an ever growing productive vegetable garden including a range of summer berries and vegetables and we also breed our own livestock for meat. This is all for our own consumption and to share with family/friends.
The kitchen, centred around the slow combustion stove, is always busy with the baking of organic home made bread and the making of cheeses. Through the summer it really ramps up as we process and can as much extra produce as possible, with a fair bit of experimentation and fun.
We are 25 minutes to the beach and have some beautiful rivers and water falls accessible within 5km. -

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Share our experiences as we attempt to be as self sufficient as possible. We love to encourage a barter/trade/gift economy within our local community. learning possibilities including cheese making, bread making, wool processing and spinning, shearing, butchering, harvesting honey, making soap and more. Paul is milling timber regularly, shearing sheep , extracting honey from our bees at certain times of the year as well as home butchery, and general farm duties. Many things to do and learn. Highlights from previous workaway visiting guests are the food, fun and animals .

Arbeit
We are most keen for some extra hands to manage the large veggie garden(weeding, mowing, picking the produce, then preserving the produce, mulching, digging, pruning) and help with the care for the animals.(feeding them, moving them to a new paddock ) If you are interested in helping/learning with the sourdough bread and cheese making (every 2 to 3 days making either camembert or a hard cheese).
....So we are looking for people keen to work alongside us as well as being able to do tasks independently once being shown what & how to do it. At this stage it is volunteer exchange for food/accom. We are not a business earning money from our produce. -

Was noch ...
We are near to the beautiful seaside village of Wynyard where you can grab a coffee in one of the cafes (not better than Sharons coffee though), here are also the main supermarkets and transport links for Launceston and Hobart.
We are totally surrounded by forestry full of beautiful trails to explore as well as the rivers and waterfalls. Explore the forested local area to find the perfect relaxation location or to birdwatch.
We are happy to help out with a bit of sight seeing & town trips locally if you don't have transport. -

It was a priceless time.

The whole family (and Kylie of course) was so kind and welcoming - we very quickly felt we were in a home away from home. They are such inspiring people - we took away many skills and learnt so much in … read more
