  • Description

    Description

    I live on beautiful land with 2 of my children (18 and 13) and many rescue animals - horses, pigs, goats,dogs, sheep and a cat.
    I work part time as a psychotherapist.
    I love the land and aim to treat it with as much respect as possible . i also love to share it - which is probably my main motivation for hosting workaways, and help is so appreciated.
    My family is vegetarian and Im plant-based.
    I’m best suited to someone who is happy in their own company - as I am very often busy with work or family , or a couple of people who enjoy working together.

    Help

    There is so much to do and learn here - there are always animals to tend to, plants to plant, veggie patches to build, an orchard to maintain, weeds to get rid of, wood to chop, manure to spread, food to cook, a chook house to build, laughter to be had, music to make.
    If you have experience in organic / regenerative farming, beekeeping, we should love that. Knowledge of horses, but specifically natural horsemanship would be wonderful - and theres plenty of horses to work with. Vegan cooking is a plus.
