    Description

    We are a small family living on a farm, one hour North of Sydney in the Yarramalong Valley.
    We farm beef cattle, graze horses, care for ducks, chooks and bunnies and homeschool our kids amongst the gum trees.

    Originally from Sydney, we spent just a few weeks up here before making the decision to stay put.
    Our little slice of heaven is best enjoyed outside, either working the farm, fishing on the dam and in the local river, motorbiking, climbing trees and generally just enjoying Mother Nature. With the surrounding forests and their unbeaten tracks, waterfalls and rock faces we are truly never without adventure.

    Each season brings its own majestic beauty and we are extremely grateful to be here raising our kids.

  • Help

    Help

    We would welcome some extra help with tasks, quite varied and not limited to, organising and cleaning, gardening, fencing, cleaning out the chook pen and other animal areas, painting fences and general household chores.
    No experience required, just a good attitude! I do not require help for a business, just every day farm life living.

    Please note:
    This is a learning space for our kids as well as their home so they are here all day long.

    They are the reason we chose this life and we like to involve them as much as possible.

    They enjoy engaging with guests and will most likely integrate you into their day.

    If you enjoy the company of kids, you will love it here!
