Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We can exchange language, skills, trades, recipes, etc, what you could learn is limitless.
Help
Help requested will vary, the works range from; tree planting and pruning, some very light and also heavy duty strimming and clearing, planting and weeding, digging and landscaping.
My partner and I practice many trades, and we would sometimes be offering workawayers free training in said trades. Be it woodwork, metalwork, and occasionally a touch of electrics or plumbing, We have all the necessary equipment, and of course PPE etc, and Our farm has adequate insurance for this.
Others already possessing any of these skills can get in touch with us, to share knowledge and methodologies, but our project does have lots of work suitable for lesser-skilled workaways, this said we will always value skilled professionals looking to experience life on our farm in exchange for their skills.
