  Description

  We have been developing a biodynamic permaculture property with lots of plans for the future, but starting small. We have a number of farm animals and growing areas in various stages, along with natural building projects and all sorts of interesting things to do and learn about if you care for earth and people.
  
  We are in a valley bordering a beautiful nature reserve as our backyard, and are close to beaches and national park walks and love cultural exchanges with travellers, especially music. We are two young adults now finished home ed and beginning their backpacking journey and their gypsy parents mostly staying put for now other than when farm sitters are here.

  Help

  We're really flexible and try to arrange work and meals etc between us all to what suits everyone's interests, skills and learning. Animal care is the biggest need at the moment but lots of work around the property and buildings, projects etc. Right now we're focussing on help with animal care and setting up watering and feed systems etc in exchange for accommodation or food as well, depending if more free time or saving money are more important, and open to house sit later April then if all goes well. May also have some paid casual work depending on skills etc.
