Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Learn the basics of horticulture and some food preserving in season, i.e. Autumn ("Fall" for our US friends). Discover traditional Irish music, informal lessons in guitar & penny whistle ("Irish flute" in some languages). Ceili dancing in summer. I make sure to show you round the area, visit beaches & beauty spots, etc., go to the pub for trad. sessions (when possible) and generally enjoy life !
Arbeit
Main focus in the summer is on cultivation, harvesting & preserving veg. & fruit, for both summer & winter crops. In addition to the organic crops, I collect seaweed* for nutrition & fertiliser and make salt from seawater. Firewood is collected in summer months. I am also interested in No-Dig cultivation, making compost, self-sufficiency, collecting herbs and DIY energy projects. Now starting on Syntropic Agroforestry.
Sailors are welcome. I own a small sailing cruiser. Help is needed in preparing it for sea and with sailing locally in Clew Bay.
Musicians are welcome. We play at home and in local pubs (not so much in summer due to schedule clash).
Help in the house is also needed, this can be combined with other tasks.
* Seaweed season is June or July to October and depends on tides and wave conditions.

Was noch ...
I have a cat in the house so you must like animals. Volunteers live with me as part of the family.
Derradda is an area of outstanding natural beauty, with plenty of opportunities for walking & hill-climbing. I am 5 mins. from the Great Western Greenway, an off-road bicycle path built on a disused railway line. 4km (2.5 mls) to Newport (shops, pubs), you can bike* it. Bus to Westport 5 times daily. I am keen on traditional music, I play whistle & some guitar. Local ceili (traditional set dancing) adjacent to farm in July & August. Westport is renowned for trad. music.
