Descripción
We live on a small farm and have sheep and cattle. We are within walking distance of Fairlie (which is near Tekapo/Mt Cook/Timaru/Geraldine). We are near a Christian church, swimming pool, library and shops. We also have a couple horses and a range of dogs, cats & birds. Kevin is a fly fishing guide seven months of the year and Jodi works from home so Jodi could use a hand with general farm work, maintenance, painting, building, gardening, housework, cooking, etc. Help hours and days are very flexible. Vehicle/bicycles may be available. Jodi is American and Kevin a Kiwi. We have two children who have now left home. Our daughter Kelty was born in 2005 and lives in Christchurch. Our son Alex was born in 2001 and lives in America. Its a bit quiet for us and we love to have visitors!

Ayuda
We could use a hand with general farm tasks, home/general maintenance, gardening, housework, cooking, everyday life, etc. It's always changing. We will sometimes go and help others with gardening/cleaning if there is a need in the community. Communication is key... Our lifestyle isn't routine which means we can be flexible with hours and days around what you want to do, the weather, etc. and we value travellers who are also flexible with our changeable lifestyle. We have a list of jobs and projects and appreciate motivated helpers who just jump right in and get involved...if theres nothing organized, you can do something on the list or just notice what needs doing.
