Description
Kia ora, my name is AJ born and raised in Masterton. I recently moved home to help my father look after our amazing family lifestyle block 5mins from Masterton.
Dad is an active, retired builder who still works on the land everyday. Dad loves the animals, feeding out to his 5 steers and 30 plus sheep. If not with the animals you can find Dad in the garden, planting or harvesting veggies. Dad is an amazingly hard working man, who I have learnt so much from.
I’ve recently moved home for a big city life to work on a better life balance and learn how to care for the farm, gardens and animals. All of which is for caring and feeding our family, no for commercial sale.
This lifestyle block is so calm and peaceful, the stars shine so bright.
We are on a journey to learn and improve our environment and how to be good caretakers of the land.
We are a short distances from Wellington, with a great train and the most amazing beach just over an hour away.

The work on the farm was simple and enjoyable, mostly feeding the steers, checking on the sheep and the cutest baby lambs (!!!), some gardening and helping out Collin with his building project! Collin is such a skillful and experienced builder it was really impressive watching him build… read more
Very kind, caring and helpful, was a great help with the farm animals, feeding out in the morning checking for new lambs. Cai helped with fencing, planting and housework.

Would highly recommend Cai if you are looking for Workaway volunteer.
