  Description

  Hi travellers 👋
  
  We're building a village for unhoused people, where they can build their own tiny homes and run their own agriculture co-op. We're setting up right now, officially opening late 2026.
  
  Key principles:
  - give people what they need (food, community, housing, a project, mentors, tools)
  - consent
  - feed the soil

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Professionally, Emma has worked as a cook, a coach, a writer, a farmer, and a teacher. She has special interests in the history of science, van-building, fly-fishing and fly-tying, community-building, soil ecology, foraging, mycology, and native vegetation.
  
  We go hiking in the mountains, take day trips to the beach, and visit festivals from time to time.

  Aide

  We're hosting friends and travellers right now: planting, pruning, building fences, paths, cooking, eating and playing. Tiny-home building will start later in the year.
  
  Right now, because we're just getting started, we need hands on deck with all sorts of things. You could be helping us with:
  •Getting the farm going – prepping the land, planting stuff, learning about our cool farming methods (syntropic agroforestry - ask us for youtube links to learn more )
  •Lending a hand with building - mud huts, tree houses, a shed, a kiln, swales and trenches, an outdoor kitchen...
  •Being part of the community vibe – helping us create a welcoming and supportive space
  
  We like to do two or three hours of of tasks in the morning, and then take ourselves to the shade of the house during the hotter part of the day - cooking, reading, craft, making art, writing, doing puzzles. Y'know, chilling.
  We'd hope you could catch that rhythm - a bit of farm tasks in the morning and a bit of chill in the afternoon

  We would LOVE to host deaf and HOH workawayers. We're only beginners in AUSLAN and looking to improve. We'd love to learn ASL and any other sign languages that come by. We would love to learn your language and help you with English.

  Hébergement

  Lots of options - a bedroom in the main house, your own hut, or camping - it's up to you. There is one bathroom in the house to share.
  
  We cook a big meal for dinner for everyone to share. Lunch varies - sometimes it's everyone for themself and sometimes we make salads/pasta/whatever. Breakfast is varies too. Some mornings we cook - pancakes, or beans & eggs on toast, or french toast with bananas or who knows! Other mornings we just have cereal or a piece of toast. There is always plenty to eat!
  
  If you come to stay, we will find out what you like to eat first, to make sure we have lots of things in the house that you like.

  Autres infos...

  Having an Australian or international drivers license will help a great deal! It's 10kms to the nearest town and 40kms to the nearest shop.
  We're covid-conscious. We have testing equipment here and masks for anyone who tests positive.
  Tell us all about your needs when we communicate and we'll meet them as best we can. Emma has travelled as a workawayer and has had good and bad experiences. We want this to be a great place for you.
  
  We're in Northern NSW (Bundjalung Country), not Western Australia as the profile sometimes says 🤷🏼‍♀️
