Aide
We are a professional couple (teacher and research assistant) with an organic farm where we try to implement permaculture principles. We mostly feed ourselves and sometimes Barter/give -away the surplus. We are 2 minutes to Brighton beach and 30 minutes to Dunedin by car (15 min walk to Brighton beach).
We need help in the veggie/fruit growing, as well as animal care (sheep, goose, chicken) and some housework like cooking, canning, and preserving. There are also a couple of projects that involve basic construction :)

Fabi is a star.
She is well informed, disciplined, interested, keen and creative.
We really enjoyed her company and support.
Her diligent work to exterminate caterpillars probably saved our entire crop of pok choi and broccoli.
She is almost always upbeat and goes the extra mile to do things right.
Hope you visit us every year Fabi!
