Description
We are a multi generational family living on our lifestyle farm we are a non profit farm on the Bellarine peninsula. Our names are Jaynie and David we are a married couple we share our home with our daughter Schai her partner Adam and her 5 children. On weekends we have our extended family visit.
We have cows, chickens and dogs.
We love to share our family life and our farm skills with other people.
Our farm over looks port Philip bay, with views of Melbourne, the you yangs and swan bay.
Our day to day life is a mixture of working on the farm, running children to activities and a lot of fun.
We offer accommodations in our 1976 hino bus that has been converted into a home. So privacy is an added bonus. Home has own shower and toilet with kitchen. Everyone is welcome to share food from our pantry, cook for yourself or eat with the family.
All that we ask is for you to fulfill work requirements. We will need help with maintaining the garden, vegetable garden, feeding cows, chickens and general cleaning. Some small building projects. Occasionally keeping children occupied and helping out with taking care of the day to day activities. We sometimes have small events and need help with setting up.
There is always something to do and it is always different every day.
