Description
Hi There ... We live on a 450 acre beef farm here in the North Island of New Zealand, the closest city is Whangarei in Northgland NZ. We have cows, sheep, chickens and ducks. There are 3 of us, my husband, my son ( 21 with moderate autism) and myself, with our dog and cat. We live in an old Kauri homestead.
We raise Highland cows and always have lots of calves running around. We are rural overlooking beautiful farmland all around with stunning sunrises and sunsets. We like to sit on our porch and watch the sunset at the end of the day if you wish to join us. We have a teepee if you should want to camp out on the farm.
Can arrange a stay for a week or 2 then on from there if suits. We eat meat and veges which we grow most of our own. We also raise our own beef and lamb, have our own eggs,we eat chicken fish as well. We have an orchard that is growing well.
We are looking for someone to help with moving cows, gardening, generalhelping to prune the fruit trees in our orchard house hold help, firewood collecting, helping with stock in general, building and or painting etc. In exchange you will get to experience life on a beef farm with good people, stunning scenery ... beautiful forests to wander through and / or mountain bike riding ... if you can answer yes to any of these and are 23 years old or older then send us a message... we look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers Leigh, Marty and Israel <3
