DESCRIPTION
With a strong passion for regenerating our earth – Tractorless Vineyard’s mix of old-world knowledge and new-world winemaking techniques, our strong interest in Biodynamic principles and the backing of like-minded winemakers, growers and farmers, we have created a sustainably balanced and diverse farming system producing premium, award-winning food and wines.
As our passion for creating natural farming ecosystems grows so does our need for assistance and since we do not have any accomodation on the farm yet we created our own version of WOOFing to help us transform the farm and at the same time hopefully helping us make some friends and build a community.
Book in to join us for a day, half day or even a few hours helping on the farm. For every hour you work we give you a $35 wine credit to use in our Cellar door and as we get more fresh produce we hope to grow this to include credit towards our meats and produce as well.
What you will be doing;
We have a range of projects we are currently working on including;
– Planting more trees for the Koala and Sugar glider habitats
– Weeding and mulching the existing plantings in the Koala and Sugar glider habitats
– Replanting vines into the vineyard
– Mulching young vines in the vineyard
– Planting flowers, shrubs and herbs amongst the vines to create more biodiversity in the vineyard itself
– Helping with construction of the Cellar door and farm shop
– Helping fencing off our Biodiversity zones
What do you need to bring;
We are working on the farm so its important to dress correctly you will need:
– To wear covered shoes we suggest boots is the best option
– Bring a Hat, Long sleeve shirt and sun protective clothing
– Bring a water bottle
– Brings snacks we will provide some but its hard work on the farm so best to be prepared.
– Wearing long pants will stop the long grass irritating your legs so is suggested for those who are irritated by long grass.
Lunch for those who have selected to join us for lunch we will provide a basic lunch we would love to offer what our winemaker eats but unfortunately he often gets distracted working on the farm and forgets about lunch so thought we better provide you more than air. Generally we will have a selection of cold meats, bread fruit etc for those that have selected this option.
