About the work exchange & volunteering program

You will be joining a working farm where we there is a permaculture-based business model that can actually support itself without relying on outside philanthropy. This is a huge challenge in itself and requires a lot of hard work such as:

• weeding,
• mulching,
• prepping garden beds,
• digging holes & fencing.

The position is well suited to people who want hands-on experience growing their own chemical-free food and learning how to create a dynamic eco-business model that includes tours, events, a paddock to plate restaurant and education.

You will live by the permaculture ethics of land care, people care and fair share. A 4 week minimum stay is required for this volunteer position. Many have come for 4 weeks and ended up staying for 6 months or more. The experience of living away from civilisation in a small, close-knit community, growing your own food and living living in harmony with animals and Mother Nature can be deeply gratifying for many people who are fed up with the society we all live in. People often find they get to the end of their time here and they do not want to leave.

Internship is also available where you’ll have a chance to get hands on experience in the following areas:

• ​Market Gardening
• Food forestry
• Composting
• Plant propagation
• Permaculture
• Animal systems including time-managed, regenerative grazing
• Business management, administration, events, marketing, sales & project management
• Cooking from the garden
• Fencing
• Day-to-day running of a rural, off-grid property including energy and water management

What’s in it for You?

Volunteers work 25 hours per week (5 hours per day Monday to Friday) in exchange for all their meals, a private room with your own ensuite, some meals in our nearby restaurant, yoga lessons and the opportunity to learn more about permaculture and explore the beautiful Capricorn Coast.

Spaces for Volunteers and Interns are limited. Please express in your application below whether you are interested in applying as a volunteer or an Intern.
