Description
We have the month April available, looking for a couple to help us
People interested to help us with the final part of the preparation of the reforestation of our private homestead on our beautiful farm. The farm is being transitioned back to nature.
We have started on one area already which is planted, and another area is undergoing pest control and weed control as we speak.
The help we are after is prepping in the area we want to plant.
The space (where you will sleep), you will have your own room shared with your friend or partner (queen bed).
The large kitchen is shared with us.
About us, we are a young family if 4 and our children are aged 5 & 1 (from your side of the house you won't hear us :))

We learned a lot and we highly recommend woofing with Marcel and his family who have adorable children.

All the best!
