Farm Produce
Avocados, grapes and capers are the main crops at Burnside. Honey and olives are also produced onsite and available seasonally, in small quantities.
Avocado season is September – December. During this time the McCall’s have a stall at The Margaret River Farmers’ Market, where all the produce is available.
The grapes are made into wine in the onsite winery using traditional methods.
All other produce grown is for the McCall family’s own consumption and to share with guests who stay in the self-contained bungalows.

Volunteer Work – Wwoofing
As a small farm Burnside does not have paid work, however you can learn about biodynamic/organic agriculture as a volunteer wwoofer. Wwoofers are usually travellers from overseas who want to stay with a family, contribute and learn. You must be a wwoofer member before applying. Sorry no children.
Work varies from season to season; weeding, mulching, seeding, planting, picking, cooking and general farm work. Wwoofer applicants must have some skills to offer. An interest in learning, manual work, growing food and preparing food is essential. Preference given to applicants with some gardening, manual or farming experience. Lara & Jamie enjoy being part of the wwoof scheme and take their host responsibilities seriously.
