Description
We are a busy family living on a small farm out Wexford town. We have a small veg patch, a polytunnel, a young woodland, apple trees, some out buildings, our small cottage, two small chalets and a camping space that we use as accommodation. We have had visitors from all over the world stay with us for over 15 years now and love meeting new people.
We are always building, growing, weeding, painting or starting something new and exciting. We eat everything, vegan one night, steak the next, and cannot provide for special diets. We provide a warm sleeping space, healthy food and plenty of company in exchange for help out on the land, from gathering firewood to work in the polytunnel to building work on out buildings or renovations to out cottage. We follow the guidelines of five hours work per day, two days off for every five worked. Sometimes we need our Workaways to house and pet sit if we are away for a couple of nights.
