Hi i'm Varin, 44 and own a small holding in Hillsborough and Enniskillen, Northern Ireland. We started off with a 2.5 acre site in Hillsborough and have now expanded into Co. Fermanagh with a similar size of land! The aim is to start an organic community farm, permaculture project and food coop. We need help to create the project from the ground up. Set on beautiful land, with panoramic views overlooking Northern Ireland and are needing help to establish the framework of the farm, growing beds, planting trees, weeding, cutting grass etc, etc... We have 1 cat and 5 dogs on site... <3 and lots of love!! <3 Please bring wellies (long rubber boots) and or hiking boots!! We are registered as a CSA - Community Supported Agriculture

You can hopefully learn some new gardening skills and help us run a small health food business day to day and share in the cooking. I would be happy to exchange some language lessons, but lets not get carried away with you or us being fluent by the time you leave... :) The surrounding countryside and landscapes are very beautiful and where we are based is very tranquil and relaxing... Only the weather and animals to distract us...
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
