  Ayuda

  Types of help we are looking for:
  (The following tasks are all jobs which we already do on our property and would welcome assistance with. We can share /teach you how to do them with us)
  
  - Gardening - always lots to do!
  - Composting
  - General property maintenance
  - Building projects (chicken coop, tiling etc)
  - Harvesting and preserving
  - Animal care (shepherding sheep)
  
  We are involved in running a music & arts festival called Beltane (Nov 15-17th 2024) at our extended family's property nearby. Beltane is a not-for-profit event which is entirely volunteer run, mostly by our family and local friends. If you like, you can join us there on weekends when we visit the site to do preparation works.
  
  We would welcome you to do cooking at our home or babysit/play with Remi if it works out as well, but these types of support are not essential or expected.
  
  We will share meals with you, and you are welcome to cook for yourself if you prefer/need. If you don't require us to provide food/meals, this can be accounted for in the hours of help you give.
