Description
We run a very small farm with 1 goat, chickens, 2 dogs and 2 cats. We've been gardening organically for the past 34 years. We are located on the edge of the Burren and only a short drive from Lahinch beach, Ennistymon and Kilfenora. There's no public transport within 5km. It would be a big bonus if you had your own transport.
Music also plays a big part in our lives and so does cooking healthy and nutritious meals, mainly from our own produce. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live a very simple life where most of our food comes from our animals and the garden. I like to share the knowledge I gained about gardening, preserving, baking, cheese making etc. We also play music and would take you to sessions.

Help
We need help with small repair jobs and some cleaning. And there's always something that needs to be done in the garden, the polytunnel or the outbuildings.
