    Hi Workawayers,
    We are Stephen and Eva.
    We would love somebody to come and help us who has a passion for outdoor life and gardening and working outside sometimes around animals.From January to April is a busy with new life being born on the farm.

    We have an old farm house,a farm and large country garden.Very quiet rural area up a long avenue with lots of trees and fields to explore.
    I grow some plants for sale and also teach floral art and basic gardening.
    I am working on new areas in the garden but need lots of weeding, strimming and lawn cutting leaf raking and general maintenance.
    Some construction has not happened as yet because we need a workaway that’s good at building and carpentry and physical strength.


    We have two Border Collie dogs and 3 farm cats and 5 colonies of Bees.
    We have Cows and their baby calves will be arriving soon so it will be very busy.The Sheep will also be having their baby lambs.

    The Bees are very busy so will need checking every week from April which hopefully a workaway can help me with and also extraction of honey in August..A workaway with previous knowledge would be a great help.

    A passion for outdoor tasks, helping to maintain a large country garden somebody able to do manual work. I need somebody who is good at carpentry and construction for a project making an enclosed fern area.There is an are which needs a full revamp also,lots of pruning etc.
    I also would love to have inventive creative people who could build a Garden room from salvaged materials,hopefully in the Summer 2024 when the weather will be good.😊
    We love having Workaways who like cooking and I can learn new recipes from their country.We are not Vegan or Vegetarian but that is not a problem.
    Somebody with good strength and ability who is studying agriculture or horticulture would be very beneficial.
    Some timber cutting and pruning trees.
    Every day there are new things happening so it’s always changing.
    We can work in the polythene tunnels in bad weather or jobs in the house and classroom.
