Description
We are a family on a small farm in Inverloch Victoria, in the beautiful South Gippsland area. We are focusing on building our farm to be more sustainable and supportive of our family's food needs. We do not sell produce, but we want to become self-sufficient and produce enough food for our family and more. We already have a substantial vegie patch, orchard and berry patch but want to achieve much more.
We have two children 11 and 9 and they love the farm life. Our farm is about 10 acres and we currently have alpacas, sheep, goats, chickens, plus a whippet dog. It's a quiet and peaceful area and only a few kms to the beach and town. Inverloch is well known and very popular for surfing, fishing and other water activities.
We are looking for help with farm projects, working in the veggie garden, orchard, berry patch, building a greenhouse, tractor work etc. General farm activities. We'd prefer to stay at least 2 weeks minimum. We are willing to assist with transport or even pickup from Melbourne if required. We will welcome an individual or couple, and provide all meals and accommodation. You will work mostly alongside and with us on our various projects.
