Learn from Nicholas Kemp
There is always more to farming than you think
Tap into the depts of Nicholas’ mind as biology, chemistry, soils, pesets, nitrogen cycles, nutrients, drainage, access, tools, maintenance, weather, erosion, pricing, tax, lifestyle, administration and of course, outputs!
Take the opportunity to discuss and learn about any aspect of farming and go as deep into the rabbit hole as you wish.
Create understanding
Know what you may expect
What do you know about horticulture or farming?
Not as much as I would like. I am always reading, listening and watching any information I can get my hands on. From my experience, we always have more to learn.
Why would anyone listen you?
I have put my money where my mouth is and I am doing it. I completed a Certificate 3 in horticulture, established and operated a commercial vineyard with my family, worked in garden maintenance and landscape construction and am in the process of building a multifaceted farm, primarily a timber farm.
Can children or people with special needs be included?
Absolutely. I have professional experience teaching children, adults, professionals, and special needs i.e. ADHD, autism, AuDHD and Asperger’s. Homogeneity of the group is not a requirement.
What if I know more than you?
Options include:
- Teaching me
- Enjoying what is here
- Relaxing
- Self-discovery
What if I change my mind, want to go deeper or have had enough for the day?
When we say “Tailor your experience”, we mean it. Tdhis is your time and you can modify your experience at any time. Although it takes time to plan and prepare for any additional tasks, we adapt to any change in your desires.
What equipment to I need?
- I will advise you of clothing suitable for the climate and activities.
- Some guests like to bring some of their own tools or equipement, such as tools, optics, photographic equipment, testing kits, cooking equipment, consumables, hunting gear, mountain bikes, just confirm with us prior to arrival.
- We will discuss any safety equipment requirements.
Can I take videos and photographs?
As screens prevent tasks from being done, disrupt activities/processes, we prefer to keep screen time to a minimum. By taking photographs at the beginning and end of activities, no-one is interrupted and your memories will be preserved forever.

Pricing
Depending on your accommodation, the length of your stay, our level of involvement, the preparation required for the activities and food options you select, the equipment and materials used, and the purpose of your stay, stays start at $680.
What if I don't want to do anything?
We will always give preferance to those who want to learn, even if it is for a part of the day. We prefer to have lower number of guests more often, building trust and understanding. If an AirBnB is what you are after, we encourage you to use their service instead.
