We are looking for 1-2 people to help with outdoor projects from January 2020. We are a friendly family of 5 living on a 7 acre farm in rural Suffolk, not too far from the coast. We would like help with the farm, family life, house renovations, building projects the garden and more. We run a thatching and gardening business from the farm. We have dogs and chickens and are starting to fence the land to keep goats or sheep.

We live in rural sufffolk and run a traditional thatching business from our farm. This is a trade only done in certain areas of the UK and we can show visitors how it is done from harvesting of materials to the finished roof. The area is a traditional rural farming community and has market towns nearby plus a heritage coastline. The house itself is around 400 years old and is full of history.
We would be particularly interested in help with the following:
• fencing the land with stock fencing
• general gardening
• some small house maintainence and building projects
• pruning apple trees and planting hedges in autumn/winter
• cooking and cleaning in the house
• childcare of our twins if you like children (boys age 5)
• home education projects with our daughter aged 12 (especially Spanish)

Accommodation is in the house with the family in a private room. Meal preparation, cooking and meals are shared with the family.
The closest town is 2 miles away, it has a train station and some buses. There is a farm shop and cafe 1 mile away. Public transport is quite bad and our house is very rural. We can provide bikes. The coastline is around 20 mins drive away, the city of Norwich is about 45 mins away and London 3 hours by train. We live in a busy family home, often have visitors and love a houseful of people! You will be very welcome. Saying that the countryside is peaceful and there is enough space for everyone to find a place to be away from everyone if needs be.
