Hi guys
We need helpers who would be interested in our way of life (being self sufficient and off Grid).
It is now GETTING DOWN AND DIRTY in the Garden, Trying to fix damaged hen houses and Runs, preparing soil for Planting (a lot of weed pulling) and much more.
Be prepared to work side by side with Various Projects and Tasks, There is no set times of Work (When we work you work, when we chill you chill) for this you will get Good Food,Nice Place to Sleep and entertainment the best we can do. We are meat eaters we have nothing against Vegetarians or Vegans but we do prefer helpers to eat with us.
If you plan to come here work for a couple of hours a day and play with your phone while we work and still receive the above benefits above you would be asked to leave
Please read carefully the information below and if Interested please forward your e-mail so we can send more detailed for you to read.
We were hoping to get our polytunnel re-lined (new plastic) this is a major job EARLY next year, so if you have the knowledge and available would love to hear from you.
Due to the silly restrictions that we had to put up with a few years ago our land has got away from us as well as doing home projects and repairs.
Looking for a "Hands on " Person who likes Gardening weeding and major clean up.
We are looking for a special Person who has average English,
Our current polytunnel is now nearly cleared and will need to be cleaned for the winter.
This person should not be : Afraid of spiders, Have allergy's such as Cats & Dogs, Straw

We have no Children here (ALL grown up)
Skype-ing/Whats App is a option before visit. (if it works LOL)
The work will be dirty and sometimes hard (But the evenings will be good food, good Craft beer and good company....
I hope.
