Description
Come help in the beautiful gardens of our 5.5 acre hobby farm in Taradale, Central Victoria. We grow most of our own organic food and aim to live as sustainably as possible.
After leaving a frantic city life 12 years ago (London and Melbourne) we are now living the country life, contributing to the building of our ethical and healthy local community. Jane is a Yoga Teacher and Glenn a Shiatsu Practitioner and Teacher.
We have recently opened our Retreat Centre where yoga and health and wellbeing workshops and retreats are offered.
The volunteer role is to help in the garden, not the Retreat Centre business.
Particular skills we are after:
- gardening, and a deep willingness to getting your hands dirty!
- admin and organisational skills to assist in garden projects including seed collection, labelling and sorting etc
- labouring learning and helping with small farm building projects
This role would suit someone (or a couple) who are autonomous and likes to have quiet time alone and also enjoys working together collaboratively with others living on the property.
We ask that volunteers have travel insurance that covers volunteering.
We are open to applications from volunteers to stay for a whole garden season (up to 3-months). That way you can learn the whole seasonal cycle of growing food. Our busy seasons are Spring and Autumn in the garden. We are also open to short term stays, minimum 10 days.
We ask for an initial 3-day trial period, to ensure both parties are happy with the arrangements.
Please get in touch if you are interested, and please let us know what interests you in volunteering with us.

About Taradale : it is a small town in Central Victoria. We are 15 km from Castlemaine which is a thriving and culturally rich town (including artist and environmental sustainable communitiies) in Central Victoria Goldfields region. There is limited but very connected public transport with a local bus during the week between Taradale and Castlemaine; and a train line with easy access to Melbourne (approx 1 hour away) and Bendigo 1/2 hour away.
Taradale itself has an eclectic mix of locals, with many interesting social events and has its own local Wine and Produce store that serves coffees, wines and pizzas. There is also the monthly Taradale Produce Swap which we go to and take excess produce and plants from the garden to swap with other avid gardeners and cooks.

Ssu Wei did a lot of weeding in the garden and was very persistent and thorough. On rainy days she helped clean the kitchen which was nice. She was very polite and respectful of our house rules. Over her time of stay with us, she came out of her shell a bit and showed her fun side. Thanks Ssu Wei, enjoy your travels.
