    Description

    We are a family of four living in a traditional farmhouse on 10 acres of land which looks onto a lake We plan to convert this into a forest garden, meadows and an orchard. Help needed in clearing and preparing the land.

    We're also currently in the process of restoring a traditional Irish barn built in the 1850s.

    Over the next few weeks we would be grateful for some help with the building work.
    We will also be focusing on getting a geodesic dome up and running with veg and herbs this spring. So all welcome with a sense of curiously and willingness for hands on planting projects and manual work.

    We live very near to some beautiful beaches and mountain ranges. Lovely for walks, climbling swimming. Also 20 mins drive from our National Park. We can help you find pursuits that may interest you on your weekends.
