Description
SMALL ORGANIC PERMACULTURE FARM
1 month minimum stay preferred, shorter stays by negotiation
About us: the Farm is a vibrant co-operative permaculture farm, with an heirloom seedlings nursery, and an events space focusing on yoga, dance, crafts, permaculture education and wellbeing. We are in a beautiful location and have a pristine lake for swimming in the property.
We have 3 goats, lots of chickens, a food forest and fruit orchards.

There are ample opportunities to share and apply your gifts and explore your passions in very real ways.
