This is just an expression of interest, more details will be given before you commit.
Below is a loose guide of what's expected, and if you're interested, we'll send further information.
- Backyard Host: Open hours across both weekends (10am-4pm) and optional midweek open hours. Design a tour (20-30min, support available) around your property that showcases a healthy and productive garden full of DIY and ingenuity. Tours run regularly during open hours and a person to welcome, sign-in and take payment from visitors is required (although we can help).
- Farm Host: With our help, design and run 2-4 set time tours (approx. 1-2.5hrs) around parts of your property where sustainability has played an important role, and where possible, engage visitors in hands-on aspects of farm life.
- Build Host: Design (with our help) and run 2-4 set time tours (approx. 1-1.5hrs) to show people through a build and talk to aspects of design, materials, tools, and technology that has promoted sustainability.
- Lifestyle Block Host: Design (with our help) and run 1-3 set time tours your lifestyle block with visitors, and show how sustainability shapes living on a large parcel of land. Note: this is a trial property category to be held alongside Builds & Farms.
