Help
We are on a working farm in the beautiful Waitaki Valley. I am looking for people to help me with private tasks in the homestead garden, caring for our pets and in our own private vegetable garden, along with some house renovations. Our farm workers do all the business activity on the property.
Am looking for some great company and sidekick to help me with small and large scale gardening projects, house tasks, cooking, animal care and demolition building tasks. Tasks will vary dependent on the season.
Helper must love animals, getting their hands dirty and enjoy home cooking.
