ABOUT ME

Lisa enjoys transforming their farm into a paradise for their animals and native birds, learning about and trialing organic and permaculture techniques, natural health, environmental issues, etc. Lisa also loves good food, experimenting in the kitchen, reading and teaching people about natural farming methods.

PHILOSOPHY

To raise only happy meat
To encourage others to eat only ethically raised animals and to eat less meat
To shop with a conscience, whether it be organic, fair trade, sustainable or just local
To inspire people to live more naturally and to make better choices for themselves and the planet

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Are you looking for a Wwoofer or HelpXchanger experience?

We would like to open our home and share our knowledge of natural farming methods with people keen to learn.

We have been HelpXchange hosts for over 3 years and would like to now host any CouchSurfers looking for a week long stay in exchange for help on our farm.

We have both travelled a fair bit and enjoy meeting people and learning about different cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Aaron's favourite author is Terry Brooks
Lisa enjoys reading Marion Keyes novels
We both read a lot and after filling 4 bookcases with books have finally decided to purchase a kindle.
We have little time for watching movies and have little interest in anything Hollywood.
We do however watch a lot of documentary DVDs and rate 'Food Inc' as the most life-changing movie we have ever watched.
Our taste in music is broad and varied, although Aaron is passionate about the hardcore, European heavy metal scene. Long live Wacken!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Toured Western Australia on a classic car run.

Teach, Learn, Share

We would like to help people learn about the importance of raising happy animals in a natural and ethically responsible way. If you've ever wanted to hug a pig or just have a conversation with one then this is the place to come!
We can also teach you about organic and permaculture techniques. (Although we're by no means experts)
We love sharing and watching documentaries and getting into conspiracy theory debates.
