Description

Just an introduction:

I previously owned and built a guest house in South Africa, Ttsitsikamma.
I have always had an interest in regenerative agriculture and biodiversity farming.
The reason I am on workaway is to connect with farmers for agricultural knowledge and hands on experience.

Marko was a pleasure to have help us . He was willing to do any task and applied himself 100%. His knowledge and practical thinking were very useful and he was keen for anything. We worked well together and he was completely capable doing things on his own. I enjoyed his company and work ethic and can highly recommend him

It was a pleasure to share a few days with Marco. He was our first volunteer and we learned a lot with him. A wise person, always in a good mood and willing to help with any task on the farm. Easy or difficult... He also did several personal projects where he knew he could help. Marco, we enjoyed your company very much. Thank you!
