Description
Our Organic Farms is a family owned farm collective. We are a tiny organic farm steeped in traditional farming practices and aiming to building the community on organic farming. We have a kitchen with basic utensils and gas connection. Workawayers can cook their meal when they are here. Alternately arrangements can be made for meals once we connect with a workawayer and they need help with meals. The food arrangement can be made accordingly.
