Description
We are a family homestead looking for assistance with taking things forward.
Activities like grass cutting, edging, gardening - planting, pruning, picking, processing.
Natural building like cobbing and hemp Crete floors.
A 7 m Geodesic dome as a gathering place across from the "bush kitchen" and comfortable caravan is immediate accomodation. Also two van sites at the back with greywater outlets, power and water.
We are engaging with the local community around let's programs, coop gardening and shared pantries.
We hope to offer place for regular small permaculture , prebiotic foods, natural building courses and talks can happen regularly.
As it unfolds we strive to maintain connection to Country.
Brie and our two daughters Sia 9 and Kaiya 5 and i have been living here over 8 years. Things have come along.
We are now ready for welcomed support.
The barwon River is close and offers a deep nature connection.
