We would like some English speaking backpackers to stay with us to provide some help with general house hold maintenance (e.g. feeding animals, general daily housework chores, helping with meal preparation) or possibly help with other farm, household and homeschool projects based on your skills and interests and our needs at the time of your stay. No experience required just a willingness to work, learn, listen and provide some very much appreciated help in the mornings leaving your afternoons and weekends to enjoy the farm and explore the local area.
