Aide
Main focus in the summer is on cultivation, harvesting & preserving veg. & fruit, for both summer & winter crops. In addition to the organic crops, I collect seaweed for nutrition & fertiliser and make our own salt from seawater. I am also interested in self-sufficiency, collecting herbs and DIY energy projects. Now starting on Syntropic Agroforestry.
I own a small sailing cruiser. Help is needed in preparing it for sea and with sailing locally in Clew Bay.

Autres infos...
I have a small dog and a cat in the house so you must like animals. Volunteers live with me as part of the family.
Derrada is an area of outstanding natural beauty, with plenty of opportunities for walking & hill-climbing. I am 5 mins. from the Great Western Greenway, an off-road bicycle path built on a disused railway line. 4km (2.5 mls) to Newport (shops, pubs), you can bike it. Bus to Westport 5 times daily. I am keen on traditional music, I play whistle & guitar. Local ceili (traditional set dancing) adjacent to farm in July & August. Westport is renowned for trad. music.
