About Us

Farming families have a very different lifestyle to those who live in the city. This is because of the isolation from proper civilisation. Usually the children have to catch a bus that takes a long time to get to school and they have to be ready to catch it at an early hour of the morning. Farming parents have a very hard lifestyle because they have to work 24/7 and they aren't paid for overtime.

There are a lot of different lifestyles because there are a lot of different types of agriculture and each one has different effects on peoples lives because different factors come into it. If you are living on a vineyard the weather has a huge effect on weather you make a killing, a living or nothing at all. If you are broad acre farming crops then pests can play a huge role in destroying you crops and leaving you with large debts.

These are only some examples of living on a farm in Australia but every family is different and so are their lifestyles.
