It is now GETTING DOWN AND DIRTY in the Garden, Trying to fix damaged hen houses and Runs, preparing soil for Planting (a lot of weed pulling) and much more.
Be prepared to work side by side with Various Projects and Tasks, There is no set times of help (When we work you work, when we chill you chill) for this you will get Good Food, Nice Place to Sleep and entertainment the best we can do. We are meat eaters we have nothing against Vegetarians or Vegans but we do prefer helpers to eat with us.
If you plan to come here work for a couple of hours a day and play with your phone while we work and still receive the above benefits above you would be asked to leave
