  • What else ...

    What else ...

    This is a place for transformation, so please come with the right work ethic and the rewards of being a part of a productive project, beauty of the land, skills training and knowledge will be available to you. We can offer minimum wage. We live by the stoic philosophy and work ethic so our work days are packed with things to do. Therefore it is not for someone who wants to relax and not work the land, it is a place of change, make, do and grow yourself with the land around you. The local area offers many communal activities should you wish to engage with them. Local markets are the place to meet people, but generally it is a very quiet area so if you are a person that likes hustle and bustle with lots of restaurants it is not the place for you. It is a place where you can be with nature.
