  • Description

    Description

    Availability starting immediately for our farm-stay/Cultural exchange.
    We have an 11 acre lifestyle block just outside of Matakana which is a popular tourist destination about an hour north of Auckland. We are close to many picturesque beaches and regional parks.


    We are looking for a single female or a couple to join our family and help out with a mix of household chores, farm jobs, weeding, planting and community projects.
    Hours per day is 4-5hours depending on jobs and what projects needs to be done.
    We are slowly setting the property set up as a permaculture edible food system, lots of planting and weeding involved.
    We have two young children (12and 14) they are active and fun, they love reading, playing and learning about new things.

    We look forward to hearing from you.
    Angie, Jeremy, Alexandra and Daniel
