Description
I am retired lady living my dream on my 3 acre hobby farm 15 minutes outside of Ballarat, a historic mining town, near the town of Creswick. I love the peace and quiet but am still only an 1 1/2 drive or train ride from Melbourne.
The property has a beautiful farmhouse with a newly renovated kitchen and lovely wood fires, wood and work sheds, and a large orchard and gardens. I have 5 sheep, 3 hens, and 1 cat to keep me company and family that visit regularly.
The property is an ongoing project that needs constant TLC that I would appreciate support with, mostly generally maintenance and a few larger projects.
Some of the tasks and projects would include:
Gardening and managing the orchard
Fencing
Fixing up the chook pen
Fixing up the sheds
