Welcome to our homestead! We (family of four, with an 8-year-old and a 14-year-old) are currently taking a little bit of a step back from endeavoring to grow, raise and preserve as much of our own food as possible to put in more infrastructure, improve health (mom) and homeschool with more focus. However, we are still doing some of that! We have a lot going on with building, gardening, animals, home schooling, two active kids, making a living and keeping a household. Part of our farm family are 2 large outdoor dogs, three cats and 30 or so chickens. In the past we've had ducks, geese, turkeys, pigs and sheep, but they are on vacation!

Winter/ spring update: WE HAVE AVAILABILITY FROM late September Winter update: It's been a pretty cold winter for us, with lots of hard frosts. We've been consuming plenty of soup and cosying down by the fire. The beekeeper is getting restless. The sap is rising! The panic hasn't set in yet, but it's just around the corner. Spring is such a busy time, and we are gearing up for wwoofers to help us out at home and with the beekeeping. We have a small beekeeping business. We have a large organic vegetable garden and fruit trees. Due to life circumstances, our garden needs a lot of work to return to its former glory, but we are still managing to grow some vegetables amid the chaos. We eat meat and our own eggs. We have 20 chickens and 1 dog who loves humans. We eat healthy food, but love treats too. We make our own yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut and kimchi, and love trying new foods. Sourdough is the next challenge. We live well but simply. Our home is a basic old farmhouse cottage, w...

Nous sommes Pierre-yves et Paul, deux hommes gay. Nous habitons dans le sud ouest de la France, dans le très joli département de la Dordogne. Nous sommes horticulteurs. Nous vivons avec nos deux chats dans notre vieille ferme construite il y a plus de 200 ans. C'est un endroit paisible de la campagne française, à proximité d'un tout petit village. Les commerces et les villes ne sont pas très loin. Notre village s'appel Verteillac, il est situé à proximité de Ribérac. Notre vie tourne principalement autour des travaux en extérieur et par tous les temps. Nous exploitons une pépinière à domicile, ce qui nous laisse peu de temps libre pour entretenir la maison et le jardin. Nos projets incluent donc le jardinage, le désherbage, le défrichage autour de la maison et parfois la maintenance des bâtiments. Les travaux peuvent varier selon la saison. C'est un réel plaisir pour nous de partager toutes ces taches avec des personnes motivées, énergiques et qui apprécies la sérénité de notre styl...

I am an aquatic ecologist who has fortunately been working out of our coastal rain-forest property for 35 years. Driven by strong curiosity, I have recently been developing long-term data sets on the animal life in the forest that surrounds our home, plus on tropical marine fish that are steadily increasing in numbers under the influence of climate change at the nearby very beautiful Seal Rocks area (for details click on my website link below). We have 20 acres with 2 acres cleared and the remainder moist tall forest and rainforest. It is on the coast 3 hrs drive north of Sydney (1.5km from Smiths Lake; 30km south of Forster) See my blog link below to glimpse the accommodation, typical work and fun. We have a 180 squ m vegetable garden at times needing attention which has been enclosed to keep out our friends the wallabies (pademelons), possums, parrots and native bush turkeys. Bush regeneration is another activity as well as assisting in ecological surveys of local rivers when t...

So we started our Hobby-farm which is home 2 Cows, 2 dogs, 7 goats (with babies), chickens, rabbits and pigs in the summer. We also have a big garden. You would help with meals, daily chores, farm work, maintenance and repair, gardens, wood-cutting and farm sit when you feel comfortable to do so. We expect some flexibility with the hours (as farm work is often weather dependent) and some self initiative. There are lots of opportunities to explore the outdoors: hiking, biking, fishing, canoeing, horseback-riding etc. We eat our homegrown/homemade food as much as possible. We are looking forward meeting you!
