Description
Looking for people to help with various building projects (sauna, and natural cob build), planting trees, gardening, feeding animals and cooking.
Especially the next few weeks and over the Christmas period.

hey there, my name is maitland and i am 28 years old from the Sunshine Coast. i have been travelling around the world and Australia for the past 8 years, alot of my time was spent in latin america , learning spanish and portuguese, with focus on spending time with the locals and getting to know the culture.

In my travels i have done alot of workaways, and they always have been some of my favourtie parts of travel and when i am not travelling, i am here working on the family farm. Me and my parents really like to learn new things from people from aound the globe, aswell as share what we have to offer.
We are an almost self sufficient organic farm in the Sunshine Coast hinterland(1hour from sunshinecoast beaches). in 2019 my parents decided to retire and we downsized the family bussiness, and now focus more on regeneration agriculture, permaculture and living in a sustainable way with an emphasis on amazing food!

at the moment on the farm there is a few very well established gardens and orchard, and many trees to still be planted.

We also we have a few buildng projects, including natural building and cob work, and there’s always work in the gardens and kitchen as well cultivating and preparing food.
We are all about community vibe, and very open for new ideas and things that we could create together, we have 120acres of hinterland country backing onto state forests and natural reserves.

I my self and very Interested in movement based practices, meditations, and breathwork which I would happily be able to share. We also have plenty of forests and clear running creeks to enjoy.

My parents and brother have many years of experience in the regeneration agricultural and permaculture side of things and are always wanting to teach new people.

We are over all looking for people who really want to learn more about this way of living, who enjoy good food and stunning views!
