    Description

    We are friendly folk living and working on an organic farm. We have orchards, gardens and animals (horses, goats, ducks) We are located on the beautiful Never Never River surrounded by magnificent mountain views. Our land is 10 minutes from Bellingen on the mid north coast NSW. There are beautiful walks nearby and lots to do in Bello. We are half an hour from really lovely beaches.

    The work exchange is 15 hours per week minimum stay 10 days. Depending on the work and how busy we are with various things sometimes you'll work with Daisy because she's the gardener and sometimes by your self. We won't expect you to do anything beyond your capability and we will be around the farm most of the time.

    We aren't operating as a business and are not offering paid work.

    I am an experienced market gardener and happy to share those skills. There are local markets in Bellingen. Daisy speaks a little bit of Spanish if that's helpful to anyone. I'm yet to meet someone whose English is worse than my Spanish though haha, but I enjoy trying.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We provide a 5m diameter bell tent including bedding which we set up under an outdoor shelter which includes a big kitchen, fireplace, tables and hot outdoor shower. You can see the building in the photos.
    You are responsible for your food and meals but we will share meals sometimes too.

    We need people to have their own sleeping space (camper van or tent) but we have a big open sided shelter you can put a tent under out of the weather or park your van next to. It has a kitchen, hot outdoor shower, and fireplace. We don't provide meals but you will basically have your own kitchen space. Though it's nice to share meals too when that suits us both.
