Description
Hi,
We are Anja and Peter, German and Australian farmers and 2 boys Bronn (5) and Jamie (3).
We manage 800 hectares of beautiful grassland with cows.
We believe the land can provide us with high quality food with out chemicals.
We have a milking cow and grow our own vegetables and eat our own beef.
We like people that think like us. That think mind, body, the environment and other people is the most important thing to them.
If you would like to help us transform our land into a highly productive food source for wildlife and people please send us an email.
People with experience or would like to gain experience in sustainable grazing and vegetable production would be great but not necessary.
For now our accommodation is more suitable for campers.
We have a one room cottage with basic kitchen.
The way to get to us without a car is to catch a bus (Rixon's or Murray's) from Canberra or Bungendore or Batemans Bay to Braidwood. We can pick you up from Braidwood.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a couple from two different countries with interesting opinions on life, nutrition and everything else.
We think a lot and change a lot.
We are somewhere between hippie and conservative - just normal really. We don't watch television and eat whole foods only and mostly off the farm.
Interested in evidence based facts and opinion.
We would love to learn about your life, stories and opinions and we would love our sons to have a world view as broad as possible.

What else ...
It would be good to have a car if they want to be flexible and leave and come back anytime they want as the next town is 40 km's away.
We have one car which we can use to go somewhere all together.
The next town is Braidwood and has a lot of lovely cafes, a grocery shop, pubs, a park , a post office, bank, petrol station.
It is a very nice rural town. 2 hours from Canberra, the capital. 1,5 hours to the coast (Bateman's bay) with nice beaches and shops as well.
The farm is next to Deua National park. There are plenty of opportunities to hike and explore on the farm and into the parks.
We can take you to the Deua river which is one of the most pristine rivers left in the world!
