Freshwater Creek

3Listings

I'm a mother of 2 grown up girls who enjoys retired life on my biodynamic farm. I'm an environmentalist, and a member of local Landcare, land for wildlife, the biodynamic gardener's association, and society for rare domestic breeds. I also support the neighbouring Freshwater Creek Steiner School and an organisation that we have started called Rewilding Freshwater Creek. Animals on my farm include horses, cows, ducks, chooks and dogs. Kangaroos visit us along the creekline and we have alot of local birds. We grow a lot of our own food, vegetables, fruit, eggs. I love country life and love to share this peaceful environment with my guests.…
