We learned so much from Virginia and Tony! They are a wealth of knowledge and always willing to explain and teach. We had a very comfortable stay and ate some good food. If you want to spend some time in a beautiful area with baby ducks, cows, sheep, and chickens then this working farm is the place to be. Would recommend!

Jacob really was an exceptional worker here on the farm. Jacob is very capable. It didn't take us long to realise that we only had to outline the task for him & he would do what it took to get the task completed - & completed to a very good standard. Jacob can see what needs to be done & does it. There were many times that I would find that he had… read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here! Working with Virginia and Tony was not only encouraging, but they also let you know the value that you were providing with each task assigned. The work wasn't too intensive, and it was great being around farm animals again :blush: I learned a lot, and am very excited to implement some of the farming ideas,… read more

Had my first workaway experience at the Mall's farm. They are such lovely people who work hard and love harder; real salt of the earth. They made me feel right at home straight away, and are so eager to tell and show you all about organic farming and their worldly experiences that you will end up learning far more than you realise.

Amandine was a fantastic, enthusiastic worker that really enjoyed her time on the farm. Amandine was really keen to learn as much as she could while she was with us. We really appreciated Amandine's help around the property. We would highly recommend Amandine to anyone that is looking to have someone stay & help them out.
