Warren and Nathalie are authentic people . They are very Nice , respectful and they enjoy teatching their skills. Picking and packing thé fruit is pleasant. Clean the greenhouse was more difficult for me . If you have a car it's perfect that you can move because the farm is in nature and no transport to go to Perth. But Nathalie drove me for a week-end

I loved my time on Warrens farm! He and his family made me feel welcome and appreciated. The work was pretty straightforward farm work and it went by really fast when working with the other backpackers(: plus you'll see lots of kangaroos Would 10/10 recommend!!

The farm is situated in a beautiful natural setting, offering homegrown fresh vegetables. The tasks are easy to do, and the host is friendly. When you don't own a car, the host provides a weekly trip to a supermarket.

A really great experience! Every day is great & you can learn a lot. The tasks are picking vegetables & fruits, picking, sorting & packing them + other tasks that everyone can do. Warren the host is a really nice person! very communicative and understanding. He helps with problems and maintains interpersonal relationships. The accommodation that you live in is separated from the hosts main house. A small house with 4 bedrooms,shared kitchen & bathroom There are several dogs on the farm..perfect for animal lovers. There are also pet cows and chickens. + there's a pool🏊🏻‍♀️ We❤️it

If you are looking for your first farm experience, then can't recommend this enough! The job amounts to 20 hours/week, mostly working early morning due to heat, and it's not difficult (picking, packing, pruning, basic farm stuff). Practical tips: if you don't have a car, Warren can arrange a pick up north of Perth. Once a week you'll get groceries so make sure to buy yourself a week worth of groceries before coming (including dish washing soap, laundry soap, toilet paper). Overall, thank you Warren for the opportunity, and Natalie and Jana for the help too! <3
