Description
Our farm is a place for personal & community growth, so our focus is sustainability & having enough to gift away to others in need. All of us here are volunteer pioneers, hoping to create a diverse space for intergenerational co-creation of regenerative blueprints future for those to come. There are times when we hire day labour - but otherwise we are powered by a passion to give back to the youth & gift our time, energy and resources for the greatest good. This is a one-of-a-kind living Learning Lab - where you will get out your head, get out of your books, get off your laptop & join us for lots of hands-on homestead experiences - including the chickens we're raising, dairy cattle, goats and one crazy parakeet named Stormy. We have many ongoing projects including seed bank, seedling bank, dehydrator, medicinal garden and building natural earth homes for volunteers - come get involved!
We are passionate about skills share, composting, vermiculture, raising Black Soldier Fly worms, organic fertiliser teas, polyculture. Our water is sourced directly from the river to sustain our homesteading needs and support the free range chickens we're raising.
Want something a bit more challenging? We host short and longterm offgrid, bushcamp projects for people to have safe space to learn from one another, get hands-on experience, expand on skills and connect with your hidden talents.
