Descrição
This is an organic farm run by around 30 of us (plus children). We live in different households that have been adapted from a Georgian manor house, stable block and other outbuildings. We garden and farm a large area of land and our charity, A Society, runs occasional events such as singing workshops, yoga etc.
We are not a commercial enterprise. We work together to produce a significant amount of our own food including meat, milk, eggs, fruit and vegetables.
Land includes pasture (for dairy cows, sheep, goats, chickens and sometimes pigs and geese), arable fields (producing feed for our animals as well as ourselves), a walled vegetable garden, greenhouse and polytunnels, orchard, a small area of woodland and a lake and garden. We welcome help with all jobs around the place- with the animals, gardening or on the grounds and buildings.
We generally host up to 3 volunteers for roughly two weeks at a time. We do this about once a month from late spring through to the autumn.
We usually ask for 5 hours help per day with 2 full days off each week.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We have been hosting volunteers for almost 40 years now. People seem to like it here... learning a little about community living and helping out with tasks about the farm. We prefer that our volunteers are reasonably proficient in speaking English.
Registered charity
This host is a registered charity in the UK and is looking for help with their charity project. Guidance on charity worker sponsorship by a UK registered charity, can be found here.
Ajuda
We mainly require help on the farm and garden and with the farm animals. If you have building skills we may have maintenance or building projects that you could assist on.
