    Description

    We are friendly folk living and working on an organic farm. We have orchards, gardens and animals (horses, goats, dogs,ducks) We are located on the beautiful Never Never River surrounded by magnificent mountain views. Our land is 10 minutes from Bellingen on the mid north coast NSW. There are beautiful walks nearby and lots to do in Bello. We are half an hour from really lovely beaches.

    The work is 3 hours a day in exchange for accomodation and money for food. Accomodation is in two caravans with power and an outdoor bath and shower nearby as well as use of a large communal cooking, lounge area. We are too unreliable with what we do each day to offer cooking for people but we would like to share meals when it works. Work is weeding the vegetable and flower garden and horse care. We won't expect you to do anything beyond your capability and we will be around the farm most of the time.

    We aren't operating as a business and are not offering paid work.

    I am an experienced market gardener and happy to share those skills. There are local markets in Bellingen. Daisy speaks a little bit of Spanish if that's helpful to anyone. I'm yet to meet someone whose English is worse than my Spanish though haha, but I enjoy trying.
