Beschreibung
I live on a 124 hectare dairy farm,milking 220 cows with some drystock. I have a farm worker who does the main farm work and lives 100 metres away. I have dog,cats, and 2 donkeys that love attention.Very quiet location and very nice rural views.Farm is 5km from Waiotahe Beach, and few minutes from the Ohiwa Harbour,Opotiki is 15 mins away and Whakatane is 30 mins away
If interested in learning about milking the cows and the farm that would be fantastic
Always something to do on the farm or section
Looking for help NOW to help me feed calves-suitable for 1 person
Would consider a couple

I stayed with Carolyn for a week in late February and had a fab time! Spent most of my working hours weeding and got shown around the farm and helped out during milking a few times too. Absolutely stunning views, and the company - both animal and human - is excellent. I can’t recommend Carolyn’s workaway enough!
