Description
We are a family of four, Shaun (Aussie), Andrea (British), Josephine (18) and Francesca (16) living on 30 acres on the river in Bellingen NSW, a vibrant hippy country town on the mid North Coast 15 mins drive from the beach. We have 10 cows and 2 horses, 4 chickens, one cat and one dog. We love our home, it's an organic farm using no chemicals or pesticides and completely relaxed and magical down by the river. The swimming hole and river banks are just perfect for the hot summer days.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We would welcome anyone with veggie or flower growing experience. We could share how manage the farm with our regenerative farming practices , spend time with our beautiful speckle cows and babies and our very comical horses. There is so much going on in the local community such as the two weekly organic farmers markets and lively music scene, not to mention the big monthly market and wonderful coffee shops and bakeries in Bellingen.
