Details
Description
We, Rosalba and Mark, run a certified organic farm in the beautiful Conondale Valley, Sunshine Coast Hinterland. We are 20 minutes from Maleny by car. We live in a straw bale house (which we built ourselves), which is completely off grid. Our main produce is eggs but we are slowly making inroads into growing vegetables. We adhere to permaculture principles. We are vegetarian but we can cater for vegans.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers can experience what it is like to live off-grid. Learn about eco building and feel the comfort of living in a well insulated straw bale house. They can learn about companion planting and organic farming and experience a more compassionate way of living. Can also teach them to knit, sew, and weld.
Help
I am needing help with setting up raised beds for the vegetables and Mark is looking for help with farm maintenance
