Beschreibung
THIS IS A CARBON NEUTRAL FARM WITH MUD AND ANIMALS, WHERE THE WORK IS PHYSICAL.
My name is Sammie and I live with my mom in a real rural area, we have plenty of physical tasks to be done including a large garden that need to get into shape and order with some raised beds, this will provide food for ourselves and volunteers that comes in the next season. Need help for building stone walls and occasionally a bit of fencing too, but the garden is the most important.
We've got 6 or more cats that stay outside and a some goats that we keep for breeding and for meat, but most of the tasks with the animals is my responsibility.
Please, we ask your patience, maturity and understanding because me and my mother are very busy and need to work a lot, so sometimes it may seems lonely there are a lot of peace and quiet with the views around. We will take you, when it is possible, to the town or another places.
We can't accommodate couples.

We need people that enjoy the dirt and have the willing to help out in the garden and with some other activities, as building, moving turf, cleaning the field, mucking out, fixing some fencing, digging the garden, preparing the earth for planting, building work, etc.

I have been learning Irish sign language for just a few months but getting there. Would love to be helped in practice.
Unterkunft
We have 2 separate bedrooms available, 2 toilets but just one shower that we ask to be as economic as you can, because the electric and water are not free. We live 12 km from the near town, so we ask to be organized if you need anything or want a lift.
You have to bring your oun boots, clothes and shower items. Be prepared for rain and wind as it is a normal forecast in ireland.
In the low season we will just accept maximum of 2 volunteers.
We offer breakfast, lunch and dinner, between that is up to you.
We can't accommodate couples.

If you are looking for a quiet place to do honest work, I recommend Penny and Sammie home.
