  • Description

    Description

    Our farm is a mixed farm, we have sheep, cattle, milking cows & calves, chickens, dogs and turkeys. We also have lots of wildlife here.
    Our farming project consists of planting oats & barley. We also have lots of old & new machinery parts that need to be put on the computer to do this we would like if you can speak English & take photographs. We also do composting and have a vegetable & fruit garden in our farm we always happy to host and meet people from all over the world and learn about other cultures and countries. Currently we need help with cutting fire wood around the property, this will consist of 3 to 4 hours per day and can help get you some pocket money and also experience the land. I also have bee hives that need some attention and some gardening in our orchard. Please get in touch with us today. Looking forward to hearing from you. Happy Days.
