Description
WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR WORKERS FOR SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. WE CAN HOST FOR SHORT OR LONG STAYS. COUPLES WELCOME .
Our reply rate has been low only because there was little or no travel the past 2 years. However we are now available to host workaways again.
We live in Strandhill, Sligo, North West Ireland. We are located beside a beautiful seaside renowned worldwide for its surfing. This is an area rich in culture, music, history and tradition. There is an abundance of activities including surfing, mountain climbing, cycling, theatre, cinema just to mention but a few. We have direct train and bus links to all other Irish cities and towns. We live in the countryside but very close to Sligo city and Strandhill village. Our accommodation is clean and comfortable with all facilities. We take very good care of our guests and provide them with as much food as required and we are very generous with transport requirements. However we do ask for some level of English and that you come with good attitude, enthusiasm, energy and willing to engage fully with the experience. We also have very good bikes for your use.
Our farm is a small-holding which is totally non commercial. The produce is for our own personal use, therefore we take great care of how we work ourselves. Whilst we are not fully organic we get as closely as we possibly can.
We hope that as a workaway you both enjoy and respect our way of life as much as we do.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

The help we require is mainly outdoor farm tasks and maintenance and farm fencing. There is also some gardening and if you come as a couple we may require some household/cooking duties, this may mean cooking the main meal during the day. There will usually be no more than 4 adults. In all we only require 5 hours help per day and you can choose your days off. We look after our helpers very well as we value their efforts.
Languages spoken

Accommodation
Traditional Irish house. Comfortable room with twin beds and adjoining shower and bathroom. Full use of all facilities including laundry. WiFi, Netflix and cooking facilities.
All food will be provided. We are very flexible but generally the main meal is during the day which allows helpers to go on other adventures in the evenings. There will be ample supply of food for helpers to eat and prepare what they need.

Pat and Fidelma were amazing hosts, we feel we could not have had a better fit for our first workaway. We learnt so much, our shared interests between… read more

You never go hungry, that's for sure, and the farm is located… read more

We really enjoyed having Licier and Raphael stay us. They are lovely people and were really fun to have in our home. They were trustworthy, hard-working and they taught us a lot about Brazilian culture with a lot of funny moments in between.
We would recommend them to anyone.
