Beschreibung
We are farming in the green fields of Ireland, 1 hour from Dublin and 20 Minutes from Tullamore town. We live in a large farm house with extensive gardens and many trees. We have 3 children (aged 7 to 11 years) one dalmatian dog, hens, 3 ponies, and a big garden surrounded by fields and forestry as far as the eye can see.
I am farming cereal crops, renovating an old period Georgian house and also working with forestry. I have done a lot of building renovation work, farming and gardening and am good at explaining these skills to enthusiastic volunteers. Our work environment is always friendly and brings out the best in all of the team. My parents originally came from Germany, so we can speak German or English giving an interesting cultural experience.
During the covid pandemic I converted a barn into a 3 bedroom luxury home. This new and spacious accommodation will be your home if you stay with us. It includes 3 bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and a large living room.
I am looking for help with gardening, traditional building renovations and planting many trees. If you have a full driving licence that would be useful. As we live in an isolated country setting it would be beneficial if you have transport for weekends and travel. If you wish to do extra work beyond 3.5 hours per day then we would be happy to pay the minimum wage.
This profile only gives a small but incomplete picture, do contact me to get the full picture of life on our farm and family. Life here is lots of fun, close to nature and always very busy....Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Our home and family is bi-lingual (German & English). Many years ago I thought students at university, so I always have an intertest at passing on knowledge, especially about traditional building skills, trees and farming. I am a great believer in learning by doing...
The old Georgian house (5km from our home) where I am renovating the buildings and gardens is a very special place. The collection of big old veteran trees and architecture inspire a love for the culture of that period.Arbeit
I am renovating a neighbouring, gardens and parkland around a wonderful old Georgian house. I need help with a lot of tree planting and gardening. This project also requires some building renovations. Fortunately I love DIY and am good at communicating building skills to helpers with enthusiasm.
Our farm and home has lots of gardening help also including a berry garden, glass house, vegetable garden, ponies, hens etc....
It would be good if you have a drivers licence or even better a car. At our house you are in the middle of green fields as far as the eye can see, with no public transport.Sprachen

Your accommodation is luxurious because we converted our old barn into a wonderful new home with 3 bedrooms, big living room, kitchen, underfloor heating, 2 bathrooms etc.
Was noch ...
We live in the middle of Ireland, one hour west of Dublin, so it is a good starting point for traveling to the west coast or Dublin.
We also have many more local tourist attractions and are very experienced in planning weekend trips for visiting family and friends.
Our local shopping town of Tullamore is only 20 minutes away and has everything including several shopping centres, cinema, many pubs and good restaurants.
If you appreciate the peaceful quiet of country living, then outside our front door the only sound is the wind and birds all week and you have a view of only fields and trees as far as the horizon in all directions.Etwas mehr Information
