How to plan transport and accommodation before heading to a regional farm.

Checklist

  • Plan transport to the farm — many regional farms require a vehicle
  • Research the nearest town, services and public transport options
  • Have a backup plan if accommodation or transport falls through

  • 3Budget for accommodation costs when calculating likely income
  • 4Confirm whether farm transport is provided or whether you supply your own
