Description
I have myself a small ( 1.25 hectare ) lifestyle farm block in New Zealand and care for (planting NZ Native trees) 500 meters of public river, as things do slow down during the winter months I travel to the summer in the Northern hemisphere.
I are also wishing to learn the same skills I require for my own place by doing similar work in Europe's summer months.
I have been working outside petty much all my life on Market gardens , orchards, farms and doing some construction on mineral processing plants.
Currently developing my own place as a private campground too be surrounded by NZ Native plants and too approach a certain level of food self sufficiency (fruit , nut trees and vegetable garden) .
During the Summer months in New Zealand I become a host with Workaway for volunteers myself.
So I know about volunteers weeding by pulling the leaves off weeds and not removing the roots, disappearing etc.
Petty much just a 53 year old New Zealand farm worker.

I voluntered at Valters and Elza,s life style farm and really enjoyed having been left with my own project to contrubte to their dream. Wish I had more time to see my project fully completed . was great to have left my mark.
If you want to get away from the rat race and experince the quiet , chill out chase some snails away or get some… read more
Very serious worker more than willing to give that extra time to see a job finished.
The best washer upper in the world - neat and tidy, pleasant to live with.
Maybe not the life and soul of the party but well travelled and enjoys a good conversation.
Would be very pleased to see him again.
