How do I Find Farms

To find COF Farms:
Go to the website and Login with your Username and the Password you chose on joining.
After you have logged in, scroll down  to the map of Australia and click on the plus sign to zoom in and move the Google map to where you are. 

Click on the red flag when you see the area you want to stay in and it brings up the farm, click on their name to take you to their page, for their contact details, fees etc

Please check each farmer’s page for fees, directions, and extra options and please identify yourselves as COF members when you contact them.
Also, Please don’t share Farmers details with non-members as this may upset some of our Farmers who appreciate their privacy on our COF website.

NB if there is a $0 against the fee we suggest a minimum donation of $15/n
The Search boxes can be used if you know a Farm name, area, or want particular Extra Options etc .

To help other travellers, you can also give a review of your stay on the farmer’s page on the website.
