Descripción
Come live and work in a stunning, tranquil location in West Cork, where you'll be part of a rewarding sustainable off-grid project. We're transforming 2 acres of land into a thriving, chemical-free kitchen garden, and we’d love for you to be part of the journey!
This is a perfect opportunity to live sustainably, learn new skills, and immerse yourself in a peaceful, nature-filled environment. In exchange for your help, you'll get free accommodation in this beautiful part of Ireland — and plenty of time to explore the area too!
West Cork is known for its breathtaking landscapes, with beautiful remote peninsulas like Beara, Sheep's Head, and Mizen Head, as well as pristine beaches like Inchydoney, Owenahincha, and Barleycove. The nearby towns and villages, including Skibbereen, Clonakilty, Kinsale, and Rosscarbery, are full of charm and adventure — you’ll never run out of places to explore.
Your hosts are Jack (36) and Theo, a 4-month-old Collie pup. Jack brings years of experience from running his own restaurants in London, the UK, and Ireland, and now he’s creating a homestead that celebrates the beauty of both animals and plants.
On the farm, we have goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, and quail. During your stay, you’ll have the chance to tend to the animals, make cheese and butter, and help with exciting projects like building polytunnels and vegetable beds. We’re also starting new ventures with micro herbs and mushrooms, and we'd love to have your help!
Come join us and experience the true essence of rural life, learning hands-on and making a real impact on our homestead’s growth.

I spent three wonderful weeks with Jack, as well as the goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, and a week with Romeo, a great guy.
Jack is generous, sociable, welcoming, funny (sometimes), open-minded, and to have one's heart on one's sleeve.
Jack's house is located in the hills with beautiful sunrises and sunsets in a beautiful region.

Over the 3.5 weeks he spent here, Victor completed raised vegetable beds, making our own compost, helped plant veg into tunnels ans outdoor beds. As well as looking after all the animals.
Victor is funny, kind and follows instructions very well and can work on his own or together in group.

Jack is a very welcoming host, and a wonderful person. I had a lot to learn from him, and not only things related to the farm work, but also things related to life. I hope to see him again one day.
What what can I say. You have been such great help to me at my farm as well as to Angies.
Your strength, hard work, organisation and skills were out to the test and you really performed.
While you were with us we created sheds, fences, fixed polytunnel, created new chicken house, made raised beds, planted trees & schrubs, looked after… read more

He is very clean, tidy, respectful and loves his food, wont be much leftovers with him around.
The work required for the start of my homestead might have been too much however we both communicated well and found tasks more suitable. And these he excelled in.
In the time with… read more
