Descrição
Currently we are seeking one enthusiastic volunteer to stay for one month plus beginning right now.
Due to the nature of the project, we are only open to taking volunteers aged 20 plus, thank you.
Our project revolves around an old period farmhouse surrounded by gardens, fields and planted forests.
Our goals are:
• To maintain and improve the house, buildings and gardens around the property
• To grow organic fruits and vegetables in order to become self sufficient
• To clear and maintain the forest plantations
• To create a nice and welcoming community of long/short term volunteers
Achieving our goals involves a lot of outdoors physical work. It is necessary to be open to work in cold and wet weather. However most of the time it is a pleasure to be outside surrounded by such beautiful nature.
In case of really bad conditions, we always have some work to do inside (cleaning, organising, painting, fixing etc.).
We work 5 hours a day, 5 days a week with weekends off. However remaining flexible in these hours is something we ask.
We are Malcolm and Rachel, your hosts. We don't live here , but one of us calls in almost every day. Malcolm's work is also close by and he often spends time working on projects with the volunteers. You will share the house with a French couple with 2 lovely children and Maia from Argentina.
We have three mostly outdoor cats who need feeding and keeping company. You must be a cat lover to volunteer here. We also keep chickens and they also need caring for.
Accommodation
You will be living in a late 19th century farmhouse with six private bedrooms and two shared bathrooms. There is a communal kitchen (gas stove and aga oven)
There is a beautiful conservatory to relax and enjoy serenity while the sun shines.
There is also a nice cosy sitting room with a stove where you can chill, read, play music or watch movies.
The location is rural and the nearest town is 10 min away by car, so you must enjoy being in the countryside to volunteer for us. It is possible to get a bus to Galway or other nearby cities from the nearest town, Loughrea. We have a few bikes available for you to borrow.
In short
We are looking forward to meeting energetic and outdoorsy people who want to spend time in a quiet and relaxing place while working on interesting sustainable projects.

I have spent 6 excellent weeks in this wonderful place. The house is very welcoming and well structured. Work is easy and enjoyable. I was quite surprised with the structure offered to us in terms of material for the activities. Malcon is very attentive and kind. An incredible experience.

It was a pleasure having her around the house as she is hardworking, an excellent cook and overall nice person.
Her gardening skills and thorough work make her a great workawayer but her positive attitude and personality are what we miss the most about her.
