  • Description

    Description

    We are Dylan and Georgia, we are in our early 30s and are building our dream property. Our dream is to turn our property into a farm stay with animals and food to become self sufficient in years to come.

    We rent one room out on short term rental (workaway stays will not be required to be involved with paying guests, or cleaning) and have guests staying with us 2/3 nights per week.

    We are looking for Workaway stays to help us create a food garden, landscape our outdoor property, build a chicken pen, and much more! We have 5 acres, only 1 is currenlty used, there rest is forested. We would love to create trails within the forest.

    We are starting to build a house in May 2024, workaway stays from May - July would be able to help with some basic carpentry to support this build. Painting and moving materials could also be involved.
