    Description

    We are a farming business based in the western districts of Victoria. We have plenty of gardening and maintenance jobs to do leading up to the holidays. I am a 23 year old and we have a fun group of young people around us. The farm is run by my parents Jack and Jen as well as me. We have cows, sheep and crops. We also have 2 full time employees.
    You would be living in a seperate cottage on the farm.
    We are close to the Grampians, the great ocean road and there is lots to do around us. We do recommend you have your own car to get around.
