Description
This is Coleen and Derry, we are an Irish couple, both 27 who've been in NZ since Jan '23
So far , we've toured the country in a camper for 6 weeks, woofed on a sheep & beef farm, worked on a dairy farm for 6 months and worked on various vineyards taking part in harvest & maintenance.
We have a keen interest in the outdoors , horticulture and agriculture in general.
We had been working in the scientific industry for the past 3 years back home and are eager to get our hands dirty and work in the outdoors or try anything different to this for experience !
We have experience working both as part of a team and on our own initiative.
Derry has grown up helping and working part time on his uncles dairy farm back in Ireland and has also worked in horticulture, whilst Coleen has experience in customer service and retail.
We are eager to learn new skills and will always keep an open mind and try anything once!
