There's too much to say about the family here and how incredible they are. They live a unique lifestyle and invite you to do too. If you immerse yourself completely you'll experience a different way of life and feel at home with lovely people, including the amazing staff and other volunteers too. On top of that, the farm and farm is a wonderfully the farm place and is so much fun, and is in beautiful seclusion in the bush. the farm is perfect if you want to detach and live in a special and fulfilling way, and thank you again to everyone at the farm!

The team at the farm was wonderful and I loved all of the other travelers and volunteers I met. Maria is the sweetest and most generous person and her whole family reflects this quality. The place is truly great if you love nature, the tranquility of being disconnected, and socializing with other similar minded people. I could not recommend this opportunity enough!

The farm will teach you an incredible amount about community and family. The place itself is run by a big and lovely family, and together with the staff, volunteers and guests/visitors, you will feel as though you are part of an even bigger community. I felt as though my needs were taken into consideration, with a lot of warmth and friendliness. The social aspect of my stay was rich and filled with events, and with the farm's slightly chaotic way of functioning (in the best way), every day was exciting and enjoyable. I was there for 6 weeks and wish to be back every day!

Aww Andreea!
Thank you so much for your beautiful words :)
We're happy to hear that you found a little piece of home and warmth in Australia, far away from home.
It was wonderful to see your skills in the pottery evolve and how you grew during those 6 weeks.
We hope to see you again in the future at the pottery! :D
Best wishes from Pilliga!

Amazing experience. I learned so much in the farm studio - from cups to tiles and even got to learn how to use the wheel! The accommodation is really nice and cozy, all facilities are well maintained, food is incredible. Work was very fair and Iike that I had a diversity of tasks so I could escape the heat if I needed and learn new skills. The permanent staff and volunteers from all over the world make this place feel like home no matter how long you stay. Would definitely recommend for 88 days as well if they need anyone when you apply! Thank you the farm!!!
