What an incredible couple weeks I had at the farm with Stephen and Kerry. They are a warm loving kind family, devoted to make a difference in agriculture farming, which totally shows in the produce and animals. Their way of life is probably the healthiest and sustainable I've ever seen. Over the 2 and bit weeks I stayed there, I could feel my
… read more energy improving, my mind sharper and simply loved every minute I spend on the farm. Kerry is the best 5 star Michelin chef, and Stephen cooks a great breakfast too! They are both a wealth of knowledge and generously shared that and their products with me and everyone that visits the farm. Never a dull moment on the farm, there is always something to do, clean out chicken pen, look after the chickens, ducks, clear the grounds of fallen fruit under the trees, planting, weeding, general jobs around the house and house paddock. Help with cooking. Kerry can definitely show you some tricks in ultimate cooking and endless recipe's too. Enjoy!
On the weekends, we go out for little trips with the family, either a bike ride or a nice hike enjoying each other company and stunning scenery. Memories are created for life here!
Thanks so much Stephen and Kerry, I will miss you both and all the farm animals (Floki the border collie the most). All the best in future endeavors and I'm positive we will see each other again. Much love Charlie

Thank you for the wonderful time during Workaway.
I had never done farming before, but Stephen and Kerry patiently taught me everything from gardening to taking care of animals.
I learned from them what each person can do to protect the Earth's nature. Their passion and knowledge were truly inspiring.

I was very happy to spend time in nature.
All the food was delicious, and I've never had such tasty meals before. They provided plenty of nutritious meals.
I already miss the meals there.
They took me to many beautiful places around Albany, and I got to experience the incredible nature of Australia.
Thank you very much for making this wonderful experience possible.
My heart is full of gratitude, and I look forward to the day we can meet again.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

We spent a wonderful week with Kerry, Stephen. We really enjoyed the experience in their farm, the food was fully from the garden! So, really tasty (more than everything else) and well cooked. We became fat because of all this amazing food 🥵
We had the chance to help during the sheering of the sheeps, it was really impressive.

I had the most amazing time with Kerry & Stephen ! It was my first experience as a workawayer and it was an incredible stay. Stephen & Kerry are super friendly, great to chat with and incredibly welcoming.

The work was varied : feed the chickens and

How to start to describe a workaway stay which startet one week before the first lockdown due to Covid-19?!
Stephen and Kerry had been willing to hosted me at a very uncertain time just before the regions went into lockdown not kowing how long I may need to stay at their place but giving me a safe sport to stay First of all I am so grateful for
… read more their great hospitality and kindness!
This wasn´t just a workaway. My time at the Frostys became a home away from home. I am so thankful about all the experience I could make and share, on the farm and even with them as a family.
This is an extraordinary place with so many things to learn about farming, sheep, environment, sustainibility, agriculture, biodiversity.....
It is very impressive to see what Stephen and Kerry have built over the years on their property and how every step has a bigger picture (sustainability) in mind.
It was my first farm experience in Australia and I couldn´t have had a better one.
I assisted with so many things I sometimes I can´t even remember. :-)
But I love the diversity of the tasks and getting a bigger picture of (sheep) farming.
Moreover I was lucky to attend two major events of the year: shearing and lamb marking. Which was amazing to be part of.
But there is not only the farm.
There is this amazing self-built farm house. So I have such a big respect for Stephen and Kerry that they already thought of sustainable building and housing 20 years ago and created this wonderful home by themselves.
There is also the garden with all the veggie gardens, fruit trees, chucks and ducks- where you can always give a hand to proceed. It was so interesting to help with that and see the approach of being self-sufficient with your food.
I def got interested in growing my own veggies when I´ll go back home.
And I loved taking care of all the animals, not to forget the amazing dogs Jess and Floki.
There are so many things you can learn from Stephen and Kerry in every sense of life.
I am so thankful for the time we spent together and all the inputs and inspiring talks.
I can highly recommend to stay with them.
I am very happy and thankful about all the memories we can share now and I hope I´ll able to visit the farm again.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Sari stayed with us for 10 weeks as an Intern and it was a pleasure to be her host.
It has been great to have international travellers that are keen to experience and learn our culture and how we live and farm.
Sari fitted into our family life and was so helpful and very talented, wishing her all the best for the future :)

I used workaway.info to find a place for an internship. I studied animal husbandry(graduated 3rd of june) and this trip was part of my studies. My journey lasted for 10weeks and I absolutely enjoyed my stay at Stephens and Kerrys place! They were very enthuastic about their way to do farming and teaching it to me. This is a place for you, if you
… read more are interested in farming in a sustainable way for the environment. Stephen and Kerry arent farming in a traditional way as many other farms are, but their soil, sheeps and garden shows you that their way is even better way to do farming! Havent seen such a healthy looking sheeps and soil with such a small effort in farmwork. Its all about farming and taking care of the soil in a way that it supports the natural microbes and minerals in the soil and helps it to grow better.
Perfect place for students doing their internships in agricultural studies! I loved their farm, house and of course the family:) They were kind to me and took such a good care of me all the time and took me to all those beautiful places in weekends or days of from work.
And the best of all: nearly everything Kerry cooked for meals was from her own garden, yammy! I will miss those fruits and veggies, cos you cant buy them from the supermarket (wont taste the same :'( )..
Thank you Stephen and Kerry for having me, I learned a lot from you guys about farming and gardening that I couldnt have learnt here in Finland!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

They were our first host. It was our best decision. We have had a lot of fun and great experience. The trips on The weekends were the best and also the work we have to do was not to much. We have had free time on the weekend and one shopping day. That was awesome!

Thanks Lorenzo it was great having you on the farm
Lorenzo has a great work ethic and was very quick to pick up new skills on the farm and was willing to try anything new.
He fitted in with the family very well and we enjoyed the cultural interaction and his traditional cooking.
I can only highly recommend Lorenzo to any host or future

I've stayed at Spehen and Kerry's for about three weeks.
I had the chance to got to know them as persons and as farmers, and all I can say is that they're wonderful people. They're very easy going, the kind of people that love a good laugh!
They expect you to work and make your own contribution (rightly so!), but they have very fair working
… read more hours for guests and, if you give them your best, they surely will give you theirs.
On the farm, I did the most various jobs and experienced many different things, from working with sheep, to help gardening, from planting and feeding animals, to help with construction, painting and chopping fire wood! I experienced setting traps for crayfish, and I had the thrill to be active part and witness my first (relatively) big controlled bush fire!
Stephen and Kerry had also been so gentle to show me around the area, organising trips to some of the many gorgeous spots in this lush region, and to Albany.
You're treated as part of the family, with the same rights and responsabilities. They're both very good cooks, and the table is always full of (very) local products, mostly from the farm itself!
They take pride in what they do and how they manage the farm, and rightly so! The farm, the gardens, and the house are all little gems, with many relaxing spots and lots of beautiful sceneries! (ask Stephen about the concept of garden rooms : P )
Even a newbie could see that the animals are treated with love, so as the plants, the native bush, the wildlife, and even the normal paddocks!!
Stephen and Kerry love to pass down their knowledge about things, and when we talk about gardening, farming, constructions, and many other things, they have much of it. If you're interested in anything concerning the farm, don't be afraid to ask! They also love to hear about your culture, your experiences and points of view: they'll enjoy a friendly debate and are very open minded people!
Finally, they're hard workers, but they love to enjoy life, and the atmosphere at home is very relaxed! In addition, Kerry is a talented artist, so, if you have a soft spot for carving or painting, you may find yourself working on some project of your own, in your free time :)
I totally recommend this place to anybody willing to have a real farm experience, meet great people, and discover how there are alternative and more natural and sustainable ways to lead your life (and farm): Stephen and Kerry actually know what they're talking about, and are more than willing to pass down their knowledge.

This place is a little slice of heaven! I was so fortunate have the opportunity to spend almost three weeks with this loving and devoted family. The food and philosophy these guys bring to the table is really striking. Stephen and Kerry opens their home and farm to people willing to learn and experience an alternative way of living. They have

This is a eco-friendly and sustainable farm that is also highly productive and competitive. They have turned their back on chemicals and aggressive farming and instead focused on bio-diversity and an understanding that the farm is a part of a bigger ecosystem. The way this farm is run and operated is absolutely stunning.
The world is rapidly heading for an environmental catastrophe of grand scales. What is done here is conclusively revolutionary. Here they offer a solution. It is all about a "green" and sustainable future. This is the direction the business needs to move.
