Become part of our sustainable, spiritual community & animal sanctuary in the Hunter Valley. We are a not for profit farm situated on over 550 acres in Australia's picturesque Hunter Valley, renowned for its vineyards & natural beauty. Our focus is to care for our enviroment & to give shelter & protection to our 65 cows & various other animals & birds for the natural duration of their lives. We practise organic farming & mindful sustainable living. Our community consists of dedicated Krishna devotees who are excited to be building something meaningful while cultivating a happy, meditative, spiritual lifestyle. Our farm is based on the teachings of bhakti yoga (the yoga of divine love), part of an Indian spiritual philosophy, which emphasises selfless service & respect for Mothe Earth and all species of life. We practice love & non violent behaviour to all. |
