Foodie guests are looking for ways to celebrate where their food and drink comes from and indulge in it at every opportunity. Offer farm tours, local produce hampers, cooking classes, farm to table dining experiences and ensure your listing is full of local tips on where to wine and dine in your local area.

FAQ
We are an Australian owned and operated sustainability focused farm stay and agritourism travel platform. We operate from Queensland, Australia.
We want to build a travel platform that can build community resilience, sustainability and give back. We do this by creating a space where people can book agritourism tours/experiences and connect with Farm Stays managed directly through the platform by owners and property managers we refer to as “Farmer Hosts”.
Australian agritourism is what we share with the world. It is the act of visiting a region to engage with farm or food-related businesses (including restaurants, markets, produce outlets and natural attractions) for enjoyment, education, or to participate in activities and events.
If you are a farm with sustainable tourism and farming at your forefront or a sustainable tourism business operated from a historic farming property with a farm house, cabins, guest rooms, a space to camp, venue hire, the list goes on… we want you! Contact our team anytime to discuss your farm stays potential.
