Live and explore with our family in Darfield, New Zealand

  Description

  We're a sheep, beef , and cropping farm based in Darfield. As a busy family with two young children, life is always full-on-whether it's lambing season, rearing calves, planting crops, or managing things at home. On top of that, I work off-farm doing a mail run, so there's never a dull moment!
  
  We're looking for someone reliable to lend a hand with the day-to-day household tasks and help keep things running smoothly. Workawayers will not be on farm. You'll just be helping around the house.

  You'll be welcomed into our day-to-day life and become part of our family. We live on a farm on the beautiful Canterbury Plains, with stunning views of the Southern Alps, offering a great insight into how farming works in NewZealand.
  
  Both my husband and I enjoy sharing our lifestyle and love welcoming people into our home to experience what we're passionate about.
  
  My husband is also actively involved with the Darfield Volunteer Fire Bridge, which is a big part of our community life.
