Wwoofing Wonder

It’s so cool when the universe works!  A few weeks ago we received a call out of the blue from a Canadian backpacker who was struggling to find work in Bondi.  She was looking for work in return for room & board. She sounded lovely and as luck would have it, we had no guests in one of the farmstay cottages for 10 days, so it was a big yes.

10 days later and it’s the last night of her stay.  We’re going to be really REALLY sad to see her go.  Robin has become part of the family during her stay and helped out across the farm doing everything from weeding, mulching and animal care through to goats milk soap making, honey pouring….and even creating a new logo for our business!  Talk about a contributor.  She’s also contributed to the eating of our homemade ice cream and a bottle of mead!   Onya Robin!

“Wwoofing” stands for “willing workers on organic farms”… an official program where travellers exchange hard work for good food and a natural farming experience.  We haven’t signed up for the program as yet because we rarely have a farmstay cottage available for any length of time, but after such a great experience with Robin, we’re seriously thinking about it. 

Robin, we’ll miss you!
