Description

Currently travelling New Zealand on a working holiday and looking for 1-4 week stays. I have done three farm-stays so far as I enjoy growing food and learning about agriculture but I am also great with young children and happy with most reasonable arrangements including house/pet sitting/cleaning for a hostel etc. I’m also a great baker/cook and have basic DIY and home maintenance skills.

I don’t have a car right now and therefore need to be able to reach hosts via public transport/a lift.

I spent a wonderful month at this beautiful farm and hope to return one day for a longer stay. Jo is an outstanding teacher and whilst working I always had purpose and the chance to ask questions.
