Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have travelled extensively and done lots of stuff. We are immigrants from Europe and have lived in New Zealand for 25 years. We would love to exchange stories and of course share meals together from all over the world.
Help
There are houses and gardens and general areas that can always do with a good tidy up. There are also always DIY projects on the go. We also have 4 horses that can do with a work out. We all work hard, so cooked meals when coming home from the farm will be very welcome to. There is no help required on the farm and we do not sell any produce from the farm, so no help needed with that either.
