Volunteer with strawbale building with a family in Canterbury, New Zealand
Country: New Zealand
Description
We're a family of 4 with a daughter (4) and a son (2), who are trying to establish a healthy organic lifestyle farm on 20 acres in North Canterbury. We need help year round with our vegetable garden. We intend to start building our house (strawbale) later this year.
We enjoy meeting people and learning from other cultures, are open-minded, friendly, and non-smokers.
We are located in North Canterbury, approximately 10 km from the village of Cust, 15 km from Oxford township, 20 km from Rangiora, 40 Km from Christchurch.
There are lots of things to do in the area including the Waimakariri River, Ashley Gorge, fishing, tramping, mountain biking, kayaking, golf and horseriding.
