Welcome to a small sanctuary where camping meets relaxation and learning amidst nature's bounty. # Nestled within the township of Crookwell, our 3 hectare mini farm, offers two idyllic camping options: a walk in site near the tranquil creek, or vehicle camping near our vibrant seasonal garden. # We offer a special focus on providing a safe haven for solo travelers, and families wanting to explore rural life. # Meet John, our resident agronomist, and Juanita, the creative cook, as they share their passion for sustainable agriculture. # An array of seasonal food and vibrant flowers grow in our biodiverse permaculture garden. Seasonal produce is often for sale. # Guests are welcome to immerse themselves in the rhythms of farm life,. Watch Shep, the Maremma dog, caring for sheep and free-ranging fowls, or just simply chill out. # Explore the rich tapestry of Upper Lachlan Shire, the Shire of Villages. This is potato, sheep and beef country. Spring lambs are everywhere. # A short stroll across the paddock, and you will find yourself in the heart of a thriving small town, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee beckons. # We offer a unique camping experience where learning, rest, sustainability, and community converge.A 'rural nook' in town. Great for those who want the best of both worlds. A BASE to explore cafe's, the shire of villages, laze and read etc OR RELAX PLUS LEARN 'hands on' in a large seasonal permaculture market garden alongside master gardener, John. Join Juanita in processing the garden produce, jam and pickle making, stringing onions, processing garlic, whatever the current task of the season, you are welcome to participate, ask questions, come and go. BUY IN SEASON: veggies, fruit, berries, preserves, flowers and eggs. JnJ will host a home cooked meal from the garden with sufficient notice. One group only using the property so you share the 3 hectares with John and Juanita during your stay. Families are welcome. Contact us re special deals. Walk across the paddock to the pedestrian bridge over the creek and you are two blocks from the main street! Shep the Maremma guardians the sheep, ducks, chickens and cows. Animals sounds may add to the country nightlife. There is ambient light at night but still lovely starry sky. Crookwell is a busy little town by day but very quiet at night.

Best camp site!!

We had such a beautiful memory at J&J’s Garden. It’s a lovely farm with lots of interesting things to see and do — really kid-friendly, and I think it’s great for nature learning too. It’s also the perfect stop if you’re road-tripping from Melbourne to Sydney! We’d definitely come back and spend more time here.

Juanita and John were lovely and generous hosts who shared their space, permaculture knowledge, ample produce, and best of all - Shep the Maremma! Thank you for having us and we hope to visit again in warmer times :)

An Absolutely Wonderful Experience

Highland Permaculture Farmstay
JnJs Garden is a truly wonderful place and a "must do" for everyone. We had the most amazing stay with our 2 young children who had the best time imaginable. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed like we were familiar friends. The country picturesque landscape was absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking even. We had a couple of issues with our caravan on arrival which John gladly helped us with. We went for the option of the home cooked meal by Juanita which was so delicious we couldn't stop talking about how nice it was for hours, an absolute must do!! Our children fed the chickens, lamb and sheep which was an amazing experience for them. The sheep dog was so friendly and wonderful with the children also. I honestly recommend to everyone to stay there, we plan on returning in the future and see all the seasons to try all the veg from the garden. Thank you Juanita & John from the bottom of our hearts for having us and for the wonderful memories that we will cherish.

I loved van camping on J&Js lovely little farm - it was close enough to easily walk to the Main Street and the amenities were spot on and perfectly clean. I felt very safe staying there - especially with the farm dog looking after me.
