  • Description

    Description

    We're a young family living in the stunning rolling hills of the Northern Rivers caldera, NSW. Our small hobby farm is focused on regenerative agriculture, with a strong emphasis on improving and building healthy soil. We're passionate about working with nature, not against it, and we're always experimenting with new ways to care for the land. If you're keen to learn about regenerative practices, get involved in hands-on farm work, and experience rural life in a beautiful, peaceful setting we'd love to welcome you.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We love sharing our way of life and learning from others in return. You'll get an authentic experience of rural Australian living, from daily farm rhythms to local bushwalks, markets, and community events. We’re happy to share our knowledge of regenerative farming, cattle care, and sustainable living, and we’re always keen to hear about your own background, skills, and stories. Around the dinner table or out in the paddock, there are plenty of opportunities for meaningful cultural exchange and connection.

    Help

    Tasks around the property vary with the seasons but often include things like planting trees, weed control, and general property maintenance. There’s also tasks around the cottage and garden from tending veggie beds and mowing to occasional childcare or small DIY tasks. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn, get your hands dirty, and work with nature. Workawayers will not be helping with any tasks related to the business.

    Accommodation

    Accommodation is in a cozy vintage caravan with a double bed, heater, and basic cooking facilities perfect for a comfortable stay with a touch of character. For those who prefer sleeping closer to nature, you're welcome to camp by the creek or under the shed roof for shelter. You'll have access to a bathroom and hot shower, and wherever you choose to stay, you'll be surrounded by stunning views of the rolling hills and peaceful farm landscape. It’s a great spot to unwind, disconnect, and soak in the natural beauty.

    Meals are provided as part of the exchange. When we're available, we're happy to cook and share meals together. If we're unavailable, ingredients will be supplied so you can prepare your own meals. Cooking facilities are available in the caravan.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Having your own vehicle would be preferable as there is no public transport available and the closest town is 20mins by car.
    We are approximately an hour away from iconic Australian beaches such as Snapper Rocks and Byron Bay. As well as beautiful coastal and hinterland towns. There is an abundance of exploring available to you from hiking, mountain biking, swimming in waterfalls and surfing.
