Informationen

Beschreibung
Carin and George are in the Sixth year of planting grapes for their organic winery. In three years time we hope to market the wine produced with juice from grapes grown using organic science.We have 7 acres dedicated to grapes, gardens and a small forest plot. Much of our food is provided by the gardens and what George harvests hunting. During the spring summer and fall we depend on volunteer help to keep up with weeding ,pruning and harvesting. After work we have a pool and hot tub for relaxation. George plays the mandolin and sings. We enjoy board and card games in the evening.
If you come to help you will have a comfortable bed and eat three good meals a day with the family. Carin enjoys teaching people how to bake and make preserves. George will teach you how to operate equipment and power tools.
We enjoy life and try to maintain a stress free environment.

My membership ended so I only got around to leave my feedback just now.
The two months I spend with Carin, George and all the other workawayers I met were truly beautiful! I had a lot of fun working outside, ripping some weeds out of the ground, picking and pressing grapes.
Carin und George always made sure we had a good time and also took us to… read more

Imagine the nicest person you could meet and then imagine the hardest worker around, combine them into one person and you have created Fiona. Fiona you helped make one of our busiest times feel like a day in the park. Fiona always looked for things to do and often found chores I had overlooked. She would take on any task with grit and enthusiasm.… read more

Sanjana is an amazing young Lady bravely moving in to a new phase in her life. You are a hard worker with a great personality. We miss your sunny smile and help in the house, also those amazing meals you cooked. Your competitive spirit made you a challenging adversary at our board games. I hope you find time to come and visit us again soon.

We were thrilled with Sona’s visit and look forward to seeing her again. She is a hard worker with a good attitude and funny sense of humour. She was missed when she left( by more than the dogs and cats).
Stay safe Sona.

Oh Feline we do miss you!
When this quiet young Lady showed up at our house I had no idea that a dynamic workhorse was hiding within. Feline has an excellent work ethic and is extremely self motivated. Often while I was finishing lunch I would look around and Feline had already found another job to occupy her.
She is extremely intelligent. During… read more

This was my first Workaway experience and I'm so glad it was at 4th Rock! I stayed for only 2 weeks, but I'm already planning to come back. George and Carin will go above and beyond to provide the best visit possible, and I felt warmly welcomed right away.

Where do I start to write about Oh? Words are not enough. Funny, happy, considerate, conscientious, ambitious, empathetic are all words that scratch the surface but are insufficient to really do Oh justice. A lot of Workawayers lighten your load but Oh lightened our lives.
We already miss her and we are really hoping She returns.

Tabea arrived as a visitor and left as a member of the Family. Her pleasant demeanour and strong work ethic made her a pleasure to have in our home.
Tabea approached even the toughest tasks with determination and a smile.
We enjoyed her conversation on game nights and her food when she was cooking. Tabea is welcome back at 4th Rock any time.

My experience with Carin & George was excellent.
They do anything to make you feel comfortable and it felt like a second home.
I had a lot of fun during my stay and you are able to get to know a lot of other cultures if there are other workawayers from other countries.
The breakfast George makes is incredibly delicious ;)
