Help
Depending on the time of year depends on what help we need. Ideally we are looking for someone to help with general farm maintenance include helping in the garden, fence painting, house cleaning, babysitting ( kids are 8&11 )and other maintenance type work. If you were able to help with the horses this could be a bonus. There will be other farm duties such as spraying, painting fences and possibly things like window cleaning,general cleaning and gardening duties. There may be enough work for 2 people if travelling together but would prefer you to have a mobile home if this was the case.
Having your own vehicle would certainly be helpful as we live 20 mins away from town and don’t have a spare vehicle
