Description
We are a Holisiticaly Managed Regenerative Tree farm located inland of Rainbow Beach, using the Keyline Scale of Permanence and Permaculture principles to develop infrastructure, water and tree systems on the farm. We are approaching a 'closed loop' farming system, recycling most wastes on farm, harvesting our own mulches, making composts and brewing compost teas. Tasks include tree planting, orchard help, beekeeping, seed raising, mulching, weeding, brush cutting, and vegetable harvesting. Accommodation for 2-3 in tent. Food provided for you to prepare your own meals, mixed diet and vegetarian/vegan catered for.
