Descripción
Carin and George are in the Seventh year of planting grapes for their organic winery. In two years time we hope to market the wine produced with juice from grapes grown using organic science. We have 7 acres dedicated to grapes, gardens and a small forest plot. Much of our food is provided by the gardens and what George harvests hunting. During the spring summer and fall we depend on volunteer help to keep up with weeding ,pruning and harvesting. After work we have a pool and hot tub for relaxation. George plays the mandolin and sings. We enjoy board and card games in the evening.
If you come to help you will have a comfortable bed and eat three good meals a day with the family. Carin enjoys teaching people how to bake, knit and make preserves. George will teach you how to operate equipment and power tools.
We enjoy life and try to maintain a stress free environment.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

When this quiet young Lady showed up at our house I had no idea that a dynamic workhorse was hiding within. Feline has an excellent work ethic and is extremely self motivated. Often while I was finishing lunch I would look around and Feline had already found another job to occupy her.
She is extremely intelligent. During… read more

If you are looking for a hard worker who displays initiative pick Doreen. She has a great sense of humour and is a competitor at the card table. She also has great organizational skills and we have incorporated her suggestions into our system.
Doreen please come and visit us again!
We already miss her and we are really hoping She returns.
Tabea approached even the toughest tasks with determination and a smile.
We enjoyed her conversation on game nights and her food when she was cooking. Tabea is welcome back at 4th Rock any time.

They are super nice and generous. I will definitely go back again!!!
