The Experience

Our farm sanctuary welcomes a small number of volunteers wanting to develop practical homestead and animal-care skills. With a focus on self-sufficiency and community resilience, volunteers become part of everyday farm life—caring for sanctuary animals, growing food, maintaining the farm and learning traditional homestead skills through hands-on, seasonal projects.

I loved my time at the farm, and would highly recommend it! It's an amazing place to learn homesteading skills and spend time in nature. The host family was so welcoming, helpful, and you can truly see how much they care about their mission and their community.

Anna's farm was a once in a lifetime experience, my late grandparents would be very proud of me of my farm skills 😅. Met incredible people and learned tons about farm life, tending animals and living in a community of fellow travellers. The location of the farm makes you appreciate every sunrise, sunset and life in general. Hands down recommended! I shall be back fosho.

The shelter felt more like a home for me than any other place I've been. I met amazing people and got to be outside with animals all day. The hours are as agreed and Anna is incredibly welcoming and accommodating to your needs. I do think if you come here you must be someone who values hard work and who genuinely cares a lot about the animals. The sleeping arrangements were perfectly fine for my taste. I learned so much during my few weeks here and would have stayed so much longer if I had the option. Would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything Anna.🥰

Can only recommend staying at Anna's the shelter, it was a truly amazing experience! Loved everything from the work to the atmosphere, making friends for a lifetime and obviously cuddling lots of cute animals from the little pademelons all the way to the cutest cows and goats. Will definitely come back to Tassie at some point in my life 💕
