Description
Hi all, Sherwood is a 60 acre homestead in the heart of West Cork, Ireland. I raised my 4 kids here while farming organically and being pretty comprehensively self-sufficient. Now that the kids are all flown the nest, I am gradually developing a natural medicine treatment, training and retreat centre at Sherwood. There is always a gazillion practical jobs needing help, from gardening to woodland management and renovation work. Depending on the time of year, I have a self-contained studio-cottage available to host helpers.
