Description
Hi everyone !!!
We established this small lifestyle farm 10 years ago 10acres.
We are roughly 20min from town, with stunning views of the ocean and valleys, it’s peaceful and quiet, you will not forget the place!
We have a big orchard and the project is to restart and rebuild a new vegetable garden this year, mostly organic, we make our own compost and grow our own seedlings in the green house which we are also replacing with a new bigger greenhouse soon.
We are needing help in the garden and the house maintenance and housekeeping.
We have already planted over a thousand trees around the property and would like to keep planting some more
We are totally off grid and use solar energy
So electricity and hot water is precious!
We also enjoy a few drinks, going out, live music and a surf every now and then too!
If you want an cool experience get in touch ! Must have a car.
Safe travels !

We really need people keen to garden with passion! we are after people that are experienced in gardening & landscaping ideally and with a natural common sense of what needs to get done around the place without supervision, being happy to be here, and self motivated!
