Beschreibung
We live in a beautiful area of Australlia and our busy home is bursting with life and animals. The whole family are animal lovers therefore we have many pets. Mayfield is a working cattle and sheep farm with a twist we also, rehabilitate lame horses, agist retired horses and run a college. The Australian college of Equine Podiotherapy trains hoof care professionals in the equine industry. We also have an online shop selling farrier tools and hoof boots and shoes.
We grow some of our own vegetables/herbs and fruit. We have a milking cow and make our own yoghurt. We eat red meat from our farm, however some of our family members are vegetarians. We also make our own sourdough bread and enjoy good coffee. We have chickens and enjoy fresh eggs. There is a large garden to attend and many animals to look after.
There are horses to ride around the farm and we also have mountain bikes you can borrow. In the summer we make use of a large swimming pool.

There is a bus to Yarck that goes twice a day from southern cross station in Melbourne.
We would like people who willingly help us or our employees with the daily tasks as a part of the team. Half of our family are vegetarians and the other half not, so we eat a range of food and aren't opposed to new foods.
We expect our helpers to be engaging and we will endeavor to treat them as one of the family.
On a farm your day to day activities vary seasonally. We run horses, cattle and sheep.
We feed horses twice a day and cattle and sheep at times of forage shortage.
We have hens and care for them daily collecting eggs.
We have a dogs, cats, and pet birds (and much more).
Caring for the animals is all year round with the best times being when the babies are born.
Calving is in February
Lambing is in March/April
We begin at 7 am every day with important chores attending housed and sick animals.
We eat breakfast from 7.40 – 8.20 and then work out what will happen for the day depending on the weather and the season etc.
Our volunteers live with us and eat meals with us and are involved in most things except personal matters such as weddings and funerals and doctors appointments.
You are welcome to horse ride in your spare time and we also have mountain bikes. We have a pool, sauna, massage chair, movie room and spa.
