    Descrição

    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.

    Acomodação

    We have a range of accomodations available, depending on current retreat activities and bookings.

    - A self contained blue tiny house with kitchen and bathroom
    - A cosy cabin with a separate adjacent bathroom

    Both of these are located in the back paddock of the property - see photo, and have a compost toilet.

    Self-catering, with food provided. You have access to your own kitchen.

    We enjoy sharing some meals and the cooking with volunteers. We eat as much as we can from the garden and local seasonal produce. We love multicultural food and exploring new recipes!

    We are omnivores, with predominantly a plant based diet and eat meat and eggs from the garden. We also love vegetarian and vegan cooking.

    WIFI is not available in the Tiny House and cabin. Although they have good mobile reception. Unlimited WIFI is available at the main studio, and in many of the seating areas around the studio.

    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.
