Description
I live on a beautiful 25 acres with my 14 year old daughter and many rescue animals - horses, pigs, goats,dogs and sheep.
I work part time as a psychotherapist.
I love this land and aim to treat it with as much respect as possible . I also love to share it - which is probably my main motivation for hosting workaways, and help is so appreciated. It requires mature team-minded self-motivated people to run smoothly. People who belief in win wins!
My family is vegetarian and I’m plant-based.
Meals are an important part of life on the farm. I provide organic whole food ingredients. The kitchen is the farm kitchen and shared by everyone. It’s strictly a vegetarian space. Breakfast and lunch are generally help yourself, it’s always lovely if someone cooks dinner - we share the cooking around and whoever is free usually eat together. If anyone had special dietary requirements I ask that they provide that for themselves.
I’m best suited to someone who is happy in their own company - as I am very often busy with work or family , or a couple of people who enjoy working together.

Help
There is so much to do and learn here - there are always animals to tend to, plants to plant, veggie patches to build, an orchard to maintain, weeds to get rid of, wood to chop, manure to spread, food to cook, a chook house to build, laughter to be had, music to make.
If you have experience in organic / regenerative farming, beekeeping, we should love that. Knowledge of horses, but specifically natural horsemanship would be wonderful - and theres plenty of horses to work with. Vegan cooking is a plus.

Your accommodation is a caravan close to the house. There is a toilet and shower across the driveway. There is always food in the pantry to help yourself to, family meals to join, and sometimes help with cooking would be appreciated - we are veggie and mostly vegan.
What else ...
We’re situated in the beautiful Dandenong ranges, a tourist destination in itself, due primarily to the beauty of this place. There are so many walks, trail rides, cafes, boutique shops. It’s an alternative community and we love it! Public transport is there, but slow so you will have access to a car as much as possible
