We need help mostly around the farm and house. Nothing difficult, just odds and ends that have gotten away from us. We don't provide paid work as nothing we will ask you to do involves any businesses.

We provide breakfast, lunch and dinner. We would prefer it if you didn't have any special food requirements as it makes cooking for the family quite complicated. We all eat together and enjoy conversation.What else ...
