Beschreibung
We are looking for a couple to volunteer from the 15th of October
Due to the remoteness of the farm we only take couples or friends travelling together, unless you are older, skilled and experienced and wont mind staying remotely on your own
Our farm is a wonderful example of eco-friendly living. We have abundant organic gardens that have been thriving for 18 years including 60 different fruit trees, a self built cob house and yoga studio, Olive grove from which we press our own organic Oil, bee-hives for honey, all in a very beautiful valley of the Klein Karoo. We practice permaculture on the farm and live entirely off the grid, we are passionate about living sustainably and in benefit of all living plants and animals that share our 70ha farm. We have a single self catering guest cottage on the farm.

Arbeit
As a result of the diversity of our farm there is a large range of things to do at all times. As a working farm, the time of year you come will determine your activities.
Please note because we are very remote we dont usually take singles, please only apply if your skill set is valueable to the farm. Couples or friends travelling together are great. We usually only offer 7-14 day stays on the farm,
Ross is a master builder using local sustainable materials. Kath has had a productive organic veggie and fruit garden for 17 years. There is always something to help with. Expect the help to be physical, visit us if you enjoy using your body and don't mind getting your hands dirty. We are looking for people that will be comfortable to caretake the farm if we go away for a few days during your stay.
We are open to volunteers for the months of January and February, but expect extreme weather during this time, temperatures can go as high as 40deg Celsius. For this reason our tasks on the farm start very early.
During the winter it gets cold here, some nights there may be snow on the mountains.
Internet is available on the farm.

Unterkunft
Accommodation is in a beautiful cob studio with its own toilet basin area and a kitchenette. There is a hot shower. Volunteers will sleep in a building separate from our house with beds and bedding provided. At times we may host others in the studio and if this happens a tent will be provided in the shady camp site.
All food for meals are provided, these are vegetarian. Breakfast and dinner ingredients will be provided for you at your own "house", and fresh produce may be picked from the garden to cook with. Lunch is made by Kath and we would love for you to join us for this meal. On off days you will be required to cook for yourselves but we will provide all the basics and fresh organic veggies and fruit in season.
Your accommodation doubles up as a yoga studio and massage room, this means that during your stay it is frequently needed for this. We therefore ask that your space is kept very neat, and ask for no shoes to be worn on the cob floor and your belongings always packed away.

There are beautiful walks into the hills surrounding the farm. It is only 12km to the small village of De Rust where there are coffee shops etc. If you are here in your own car there is the magnificent Swartberg pass and Meiringspoort to explore as well as the world famous Cango caves. Here is a great option for transport from CT to Oudtshoorn, our nearest town

Our stay at Kath and Ross's farm was our first Workaway experience and we are afraid that we will never get any better experience because it was PERFECT! The location is amazing, calm and clear. Sparkling clean weather and amazing night sky are only the few things about the farm. Kath's food was always so amazing that we started comparing every… read more

Alex is an absolute pleasure to share time and space with and even after he extended his stay for an extra week we were still sad to see him leave.

Wow! Our experience at Kath and Ross' little paradise was life-changing and eye-opening to us.
Initially, Camille and I volunteered here because we are interested in building a self-sufficient home of our own - and wanted to see how feasible it was. We learned and received far more than we'd expected from Kath and Ross. They genuinely shared… read more
