Couldn't really expect better. Peace and activity and connectivity. Respectful disagreement. Clear expectations. Massive freetime & access I hope Luna is still kicking when you are here. Bees (apis mellifera) are on back of property and super active. Sunset couches are in west paddock. The wifi is sometimes spotty, but if anything isn't working right, let Warren/Nat know and it is fixed faster than most contractors. Legit cigarettes are super expensive atm. Wine is the cheapest and Aldi has AUD$10/4L/12%. The hot water in the kitchen is on the right. The JC TV has a built in DVD player on it

Warren and Natalie are super friendly, their dogs are adorable and the farm itself is perfect for people who like the countryside. I definitely recommend this volunteer opportunity

It was great to be involved in the farming work, and to meet the host and his family.
Warren was very patient, taking the time to explain how to grow and care for vegetables.
The other travellers were helpful, supportive and mostly funny.

I definitely recommend this place! Warren and Natalie were very kind hosts, and very accommodating. Plus the bonus of Luna the dog, the best farm dog. The hours are very reasonable, and flexible, accomodation is cozy, and the farm is beautiful with incredible sunsets and lots of wildlife.
The other volunteers on the farm quickly became very close friends, and were each great fun to be around and work alongside. I recommend to anyone that likes laidback rural life to come here!

My time on the farm was truly amazing! Warren and Nathalie are very kind and patiences hosts, always happy to help you with anything you might need to make your stay feel like home. The other people on the farm became like family within a couple of days. I really recommend going here to find friends, enjoy the slow farm life and beautiful sunsets.

I loved my time on the farm. Warren and Natalie are welcoming and friendly, the work (picking aubergines and tomatoes, maintenance to the greenhouses) was fair and not too strenuous, and I learnt so much about how much care and expertise goes into creating the food we take for granted. There were other backpackers at the same time which was great, and there are beautiful places nearby to explore. Thank you Warren and Natalie!

I have been loving my stay at the farm. The work hours are flexible throughout the week, the house is very cosy, and the people at the farm are lovely. I extended my stay here amd Warren is very accommodating to your needs, he will help you with any enquiries you have to make sure your stay is comfortable.

Warren and Natalie were great hosts at the farm. We had a good team working while I was there which made it lots of fun. The work can be physical especially if it is hot outside but it's not difficult. I recommend this to anyone looking to spend time in nature and explore a bit of WA while also getting farm experience.

Warren and Natalie were truly awesome, kind, and welcoming hosts. Warren helped me figure out the best way to get to the farm and even arranged a pickup from the nearest town. I really appreciated the flexible work-and-hours system, plus the weekly food allowance, which gave me freedom to do my own grocery shopping. The farm is a peaceful and beautiful place to recharge in nature and enjoy greenhouse work. My heart goes out to Warren and Natalie for creating such a supportive and valuable experience for backpackers new to Australia.

My stay at the farm was lovely, even though I started getting rashes all over my body (most likely from mangoes). So please make sure to protect your skin from the beginning (long clothes/gloves)!!! The work was a bit monotonous but still fun because of the other volunteers. I'd have appreciated clearer instructions regarding the working hours & the tasks themselves. There were a few instances where miscommunication led to discussions that could have been avoided. Nonetheless, I learned new things & made two wonderful new friends, who made my time there unforgettable!
