Organic Status: organic where possible on fruit trees

Although I do have the occasional visitor to assist me with my farm activities, I would like to offer visitors something different. My farm was initially in a run down state when I bought it but it was in a pleasing location at the end of a road with hills behind it, and adjoining (almost) a state forest. My personal project has been tree planting and the restoration of the environment leading to farm forestry as my livelihood. Countless thousands of trees have been planted and the environmental appearance has been greatly improved. Visitors I’m looking for are those who wish to appreciate nature. Artists, authors, mystics and environmentalists. Anyone who is looking for a closer relationship with nature. On my farm I have some rainforest with some large trees, swimming holes in the creek, views, and a walking track circling the farm and connecting the points of interest. Accommodation would be either in a spare room in my house, a converted dairy behind the house, a hut at the end of a walking track, and even a cave big enough to camp in. If you want to know more, email me and I can tell you where there are a few photos on the net of my trees or perhaps telephone and I can speak to you directly.
If you've read this far, I've also written a weird unpublished autobiography. I've read 17 of my stories on the radio and they say that they like them. I've then collated these and added a bit more. It is about the unusual things in my treeplanting life and a bit of personal philosophy. I would be interested if anyone read it before they visited to compare the imagined with the real.It can be seen at the back of my home page.Just an idea.
