The General Flow of the Day is as Follows: 


09:00 | Arrive at the farm and be greeted by your host.
09:15 | Introduction and safety briefing.
09:30 | Hands-on farm session 1.
10:30|  Morning tea provided in partnership with Kakadu Organics.
11:00 | Hands-on farm session 2.
12:00 | Time to down tools and pack up. Amazing effort!
12.30 | Wrap-up, Feedback, and Cheers All Round. 

 

 A moderate level of fitness and physical well-being is required to participate in our program.  During our initial safety briefing we will run through the activities for the day and provide options that range from low - medium intensity activities. We encourage people to self select into activities they feel suited to, to take breaks, work at their own pace, and to swap into another activity at any time. 

 We recommend wearing: 

  • closed shoes
  • a hat
  • sun protective clothing (this could be a long sleeved shirt or long pants)
  • sunscreen 

 We recommend bringing: 

  • a water bottle
  • gardening gloves 
  • your phone (for capturing memories)

If rain is forecasted, we suggest to bring along a pair of gumboots or boots, and a raincoat. If the rain is heavy, we simply make the decision on the day to move to jobs that we can do undercover. Easy!

In the unlikely event of electrical storms, we will contact you to work out a plan. Safety first is our motto, and we don't work at the farm in storms. 

Our standard price of $1050 is for up to 15 people, with morning tea included. Our biggest group sizes are up to 45 people, but if you wish to bring a larger group please get in touch to discuss options.

Your Investment in a Better Future:

Special Offer: Book your Corporate Volunteering Day before the end of this quarter and receive a complementary morning tea showcasing indigenous herbs and flavours - bring up to 15 people for just $1050, and add any extras for just $70/head. The invoice will be issued based on the confirmed numbers the week prior to your booking. 

Our cancellation policy requires companies to provide a written notice of cancellation at least 14 days before the scheduled booking date to not be charged. Cancellations made within 7 to 13 days prior to the date will incur a 50% cancellation fee.  Exceptions to this policy may be considered in cases of extreme weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances at the discretion of the administration. We reserve the right to cancel the booking if conditions are deemed unsafe, with a full refund provided.

    It was a great experience being out in the open and spending quality time outside of work around fresh air.

    The morning tea fresh platter was so refreshing. Thank you!

    Thanks for having us and I hope the work we did helps grow more crops and we could visit again to see the outcome of our work together 😊

    We will definitely recommend our experience to friends and colleagues.”
