This can be paid for in cash when you arrive.

OUR PERMACULTURE STYLE FARM
Our home sits within the orchard and veggie garden so you get to experience the seasonal system we work within. If you want to have a look at our garden and orchard please let us know so we can try and make time to show you through.

ECO DESIGN
Our home is built from second hand and recycled doors, windows and timber. Every care has been taken to limit our carbon footprint in the way we are set up. Solar power, rain tanks and our reed bed septic system means we recycle all our resources back into the farm and the food we produce here.

GUEST ACCESS
You have your own private house at the top of our farm with magnificent north east views to the Dorrigo mountains. It has flat access with under cover parking. You are welcome to enjoy our whole farm and explore the property.

There are many wonderful outdoor activities in the area for your to enjoy, our guest information folder has a list of these for you.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
We run a busy farm, but either I or one of our onsite farm sitters will pop up and say hello to you (not always as soon as you arrive) and show you around, we will also do our best to say goodbye if we can. We will show you how everything works and then leave you to your holiday. Please make yourselves at home and enjoy all that our farm has to offer. If you or your children would like to help feed our chickens and collect the eggs please ask us when you arrive.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Our house uses rain tank water and we recycle the grey water, so please only use biodegradable soaps and washing powers. We supply guests with laundry soaps/wash nuts and eco friendly soaps for your use.

Please do not bring any cleaning chemicals into the house or chemical based fly spray and cockroach spray as this impacts our health and well being. We supply environmentally friendly alternatives and our home has been managed with alternative methods.
