Hello, my husband and I own a 98 acre farm in Uduc Western Australia. We will be away early April 2025 for approximately 6 weeks. Dates are not set as yet. We have 20 cattle, 10 sheep and 40 chickens.
The main help needed is to collect eggs daily from our pasture raised chickens. We collect our eggs a couple of times a day, sort dirty or cracked eggs then place clean eggs in a dedicated egg fridge and record the numbers of eggs each day. This normally takes 30 minutes a day.
We check water and feed daily, this is just a quick glance at them in case of emergency problems. We top up feed and water 2 times a week, this takes approximately 30 minuets.
We have 2 customers that pick up their eggs at an agreed time each fortnight plus we deliver eggs into Harvey townsite twice a week at agreed times to 2 customers. This is normally when we go into town to shop. Harvey townsite is 8 minutes away from our farm. We would like you to be available for both pick up and delivery.
We do not provide a vehicle but remuneration can be negotiated for cost of fuel and time. Or we can negotiate an arrangement for farm grown professionally processed lamb avilable in the freezer, veg in the garden and as many eggs as you can eat.
We would like the cattle and sheep to be monitored, and water troughs checked. This is a quick drive around in the farm buggy a few times a week. Binoculars are available for glance over the property. Emergency repairs as needed would be great otherwise alerting us to the problem so that we can arrange for repair.
It would be preferable for sitter to have their own caravan but access to caretakers cottage is available.
We are looking forward to meeting our future farm sitters. Thank you Rob & Raelene.
