Help us around the property in the West of Ireland in an old cottage

Details

  Description

  We run a very small farm with 1 goat, chickens, 2 dogs and a cat. We've been gardening organically for the past 32 years. Music also plays a big part in our lives! and so does cooking healthy and nutritious meals. We could use an extra hand with small repair jobs and some woodwork projects. If you are a carpenter, I'm sure we'll find an interesting project for you. And there's always something that needs to be done in the garden or the polytunnel. We are located 8km from Ennistymon, 5km from Kilfenora, right on the edge of the Burren. There's no public transport within 5km.

  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 in the past 32 years about gardening, preserving, baking, cheese making etc. We also play music and would take you to sessions.

  Help

  There's always something in the house or the outbuildings that needs to be fixed or painted. We have a small workshop attached to the cottage and some power tools, nothing fancy. We can always do with an extra hand in the garden.

  What else ...

  We live in a beautiful part of Clare close to Lahinch (surfer's paradise), the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. Unfortunately there's no public transport to where we live. The neares bus stop is in Kilfenora (5km). We do have a bicycle you can use.
