What we farm: Mostly Avocados, Cattle & Tomatoes.
Our animals: Dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens, birds, goats.
What we are looking for: some help around our private house and yard, basically an extra helping hand! All food included. You can eat what we make or use food to make something, completely up to you ;)

We can pick you up from Gatton bus stop or Gatton train station if you need :-)
