The Experience

Volunteers will help with daily tasks for a few hours and then have the rest of the day free to explore the amazing beaches and mountains in the area. Tasks include weeding to support pasture management, grooming and feeding a variety of animals such as horses, donkeys, goats, cows, and chickens, as well as some pen cleaning. Once our small farmstay becomes fully operational (mid-2026), tasks will also include cleaning the accommodation, etc 🏡✨

Jo and Jai are such kind and loving people; they make you feel right at home. Your main responsibilities involve taking care of the animals in the morning and late afternoon, but you’ll also get to try your hand at chopping logs and trees and driving the lawn mower or the buggy. Since I can't get around on my own, Jo and Jai are always willing to take you to nearby towns to explore the beaches whenever they can, but for me, it was also nice to enjoy the farm and go on long walks with the family dogs (I miss them). Thank you for these wonderful weeks!

My time at the farm was amazing! Jo and Jai are very welcoming and accommodating. The work and time spent with animals was very fulfilling, there was also lots of time during the experience to explore the nearby sights and Jo and Jai even took the time to show me many different spots :) I would recommend this experience to anyone who loves animals and is looking to experience Aussie farm life

Jo and Jai were so obliging from the get go, and are very welcoming and highly knowledgable in their field. I've learnt a vast amount in my short time with them in terms of substainabilty, the animals, culture, Aus in general and much more. They made my whole experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Exploring local areas and getting to know and learn about all the animals and their little quirks was amazing. Heartwarming to see how well they're taken care of. I'll miss all of the animals, especially my shadow, Bindi, and of course the fabulous Fernando! Forever grateful for the opportunity. ❣️

This was truly an amazing experience and I cannot recommend the farm enough! From the moment I arrived, I was accommodated with warmth and friendliness. Jo is an incredible host and would do everything to ensure the volunteers felt welcomed and looked after. The farm work was some of the most fulfilling volunteering I have experienced and looking after their variety of farm animals was truly lovely. During periods were no work was needed, we had the joy of exploring the surrounding areas with some days being spent at the beach! Incredible!

My experience at the farm was one of those that I'll never forget. Jia & Jo gives you so much, and in exchange, they're only looking for you to have a great time! Everyday was different from one another, I got to learn so much about having my own farm. The tasks are mostly about taking care of everyone: taking out the goats, picking up the eggs, feeding the horses and taking the donkeys to the paddocks. All of it doesn't feel like work, it's such a nice environment with great energy, that you'll find yourself willing to pick up horse manure first thing in the morning.
