Description
We are a family of 5: Jeremy, Rike, Talia (14), Fynn (12), and Carlos (8). We are a german-kiwi household. We have a dog, some sheep and 10 chickens. We love meeting new people and welcoming them into our busy home.
We live in Riverton, a beautiful seaside town with everything you need 😊.
Areas of work are mainly in our orchard and vegetable garden. We grow most our food right here. Work is about 4/5 hours per day. You can stay for up to one week.
If you are keen to be an active part of our family and you are open and keen to work we will be thrilled to have you.
We offer you are beautiful and private sleepout in amongst the trees and delicious home cooked meals.
It would be helpful if you can organise your own transport. There is no public transport so a car would be beneficial.

They looked after our place during a long weekend and it was lovely coming home to a clean house and happy animals.
We can highly recommend Ronja and Tim:blush:
Kept the house clean and tidy.
Her background in education made interaction with the kids not just entertainment but educational.
Big thanks to Carmen
Riverton is a beautiful place !
Kiss for you and see you !
Lena and Guillaume
