  *availability from May 2024 to August 2024 (3 months) ..... Perfect if we can find someone who can stay the full 3 months :-)*
  
  Hi there, we are a family of 3 (Rose 31, Owen 36 and Ailsa 2) living on a farm just outside the village of Clogher, which is in county Tyrone in Northern Ireland. The farm was originally Owens grandparents, we are slowly restoring the land with an interest in regenerative agriculture. There are quite a few acres of land, we have planted a few thousand trees in the last year, there are also sheep and goats at the moment and one dog who lives in the house and one who lives outside.
  
  Owen is currently working during the week as a manager of a heritage centre, he is blacksmith by trade, and knows a few other crafts. At the moment I'm at home on the farm mostly with Ailsa, and in the evenings I'm working as a cleaner in the local area. The long term plan is for us to both work from home on the farm. In the mean time we are doing what we can inbetween work. That's where work away volunteers have been so very helpful to us in the past 6 months as it's enabled me to both get a break, and have some company. I'm really enjoying the process of hosting people, I'm learning lots about what we can give and share, and absolutely love learning from others cultures , especially those are the opposite to ours :-)
  
  I love all things to do with home steading and DIY living. I've lived in a few different places in the UK, and have had an interest community living for some time. I have many passions, at the moment it's cycling, hiking, crocheting, natural building, painting, growing food....

  We live rurally, it is an hours walk into the nearest village, Clogher, I don't drive so I walk this quite regularly. In Clogher there are plenty of buses in either direction to Enniskillen or Belfast. Owen drives to work in Moira which is beside a train station should you wish to travel. The nearest airport is Belfast.
