Informationen

Beschreibung
My name is Chris I'm twenty-seven years old. I am part of a family of seven, with my brothers and sisters aged between twenty-seven and thirty three.

The helpers are asked to help out about 5 hours per day, with two days off each week to chill or explore. The lake Lough Derg is nearby, and is a great place to go swimming/fishing. The food provided is mainly home-grown, and there is a shop five minutes from us. The town of Scarriff is a ten-minute walk away.

We have a small holding of 3 sheep, 2 cats ,1 dog 1 goat, 20 chickens and bees.
And a polytunel where we try and grow food for the house.
Help is welcome in the polytunel with planting harvesting and weeding aswell as maintaining the property and any tasks that come up especially renovation tasks as I always love to find new projects to enhance the property and make hidden jems.
All helpers must be able to speak some English, German or Dutch.

I've been a volunteer myself and loved it, and look forward to providing a similarly engaging experience for the volunteers on our farms.

If you are an energetic outgoing person who is up for anything then this place is perfect for you.

Vom Workawayer (Merve) für Host

I stayed 2 weeks with this amazing active family. I really enjoyed my stay there, and I would recommend anyone who likes to socialize and immerse into Irish culture. Indeed, we went many times to the pub which was amazing, with proper Irish vibes and live music. We also went to see a hurling game, which was really fun to watch. The farm is… read more

Great experience!

Gonna miss the food - including honey from Chris's bees and eggs from the farm!

Work was varied and satisfying- getting stuck in with gardening, woodwork, powertools, leafblowing (so fun!).

Room was massive and bed super comfy.

Chris and the family are so welcoming - I immediately felt at home.

Cheers guys! if I'm ever… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Maja)

Maja is truelly a remarkable person. Her ability to adapt to any situation and her focus is something I have never seen from a workawayer before. She was also able to handle alot of responsibility and took on a management role among the other volunteers.

I would highly recommend Maja as you won't regret having a person like her at your place!

My stay at Chris' farm was amazing. My plan was to stay three weeks, finally I stayed 2 months and even then it was hard to leave. Chris is patient, funny and friendly, he creates a peaceful and a
warm atmosphere throughout the farm. From working in the workshop, watering flowers, cooking lunch for everyone, cleaning up the polytunnel over… read more

Working with Chris and co. was a blast. A really cool, rural area of Ireland. Work was varied and interesting, and there was plenty of time to explore. There were a few other volunteers there with me, and we were able to take a couple of day trips and even visit the Cliffs of Moher. Also got to go to a local harp festival.

If you want a cool… read more

It was my first workaway experience and I only got to stay for a short while due to COVID, but it was a great time either way and I wish I could have stayed longer. Chris was an inspiration of productivity and business and I can't wait to see how all his projects develop. My favorite part was definitely playing the guitar in a jam session with a… read more

I was looking for a genuine, meaningful work and that is truly what I found! It was my first Workaway experience and I couldn’t imagine a better host. From the first second on, I felt welcomed and the whole family was very warm-hearted and caring. I agree on every point in Emilys feedback here from 2018: every member of the family is individual… read more

I spend two weeks with Chris and his family in august and had an amazing time! Everyone in the house was friendly, social and made me feel comfortable and welcome. It never got boring with Chris and the other volunteers as there was always something going on in the house. We spend many hours picking hazelnuts, building frames and boxes for bees,… read more

Vom Workawayer (Emily) für Host

Staying at the House means finding the genuine heart of Ireland, a corner of the country full of once-in-a-lifetime days disguised as a morning planting tomatoes, an afternoon of lost hours among the chickens, an evening swallowed by sawdust in the garage, midnight playing soccer next to the garden under Ireland's neverending sunset.

My time at… read more these farms was exactly the kind of workaway experience I was looking for, one that marries culture with unique work and genuine friendships. You are never simply a worker but a part of the team, as such there is not a typical schedule but every day looks different for you. The tasks vary from helping to mix cement to working the farmer's market to checking up on the beehives to harvesting the polytunnel, and so much more that it is impossible to get bored. The days can be long but they are broken up by breaks for a slice of the famous homemade bread or a chilly swim in the lake or a cuddle with the dogs. The days off are flexible and everyone's needs or requests are respected. Finding friends in the other volunteers meant the work was never a chore, and we were able to pass our free time in the beautiful surrounding region taking walks or exploring, and maybe visiting the chocolate company across the street one or two times...

The farm in the Burren is such a treat to get to experience; working or relaxing among such unspoiled nature and history - and clusters of endearing goats - will sneak Ireland right deep into the precious parts of your heart. All the tea and biscuits at the coffee shop will help with that as well :)

Stepping into the main farm you become lost in the countryside, swept up in the rolling hills and quiet breezes - save the occasional chatter of the geese or lonely church bell - but stepping beyond there are all the comforts of a small town, including a shop, a bus stop and a pub. Spending time with the local community having a pint at the festival or meeting regulars at the market really decorated my time with authenticity and just plain good times.

I think I owe more to this family than all my hours of poorly tied onion bunches could repay. They truly cared that I found what I was looking for here, and never allowed me to believe that I wasn't capable of everything they put in front of me. Chris has such a sincere joy for honest work that you will be more eager than you thought possible to help him nail a hundred bee frames together, or meticulously measure a gutter, or weed nettles at noon under the unprecedented Irish sunshine. Maria has an inexplicable combination of warmth and tenacity that will humble you and inspire you all at once, and she will share with you lessons and conversations you won't be able to shake. Harry's ever-present smile, generosity and gentleness are infectious and pure, and you will never feel so welcome as you are in his home. Matjan is the reason you will find yourself dancing like a crazy person in the kitchen at 1 am or laughing to burst at the dinner table. The whole family invites you wholeheartedly into their life and if you are given a chance to meet them, I suggest you take it.

Thank you for everything ! : )
