Descripción
We are Jess and Al Ussher, and we have lived at our place for the past decade with our sons Ben and Isaac . We have a beautiful home surrounded by neighbours farmland. Our place is a 4 acre small holding within enormous veggie patch, sheep,chickens and 2 excitable dogs. We are currently working on planting an asparagus paddock, a native bush area and are always working on our orchard where we have a mix of older and baby fruit trees of lots of different types. We have spectacular views of the kaimai ranges and of the ocean, and we wake to the sound of the beautiful multitude of native birds (and the neighbours cows).
We live outside Tauranga, in the countryside, near an entrance to the bush (native forest) with easy access to lovely walks and a river with a swimming waterhole. We are a 35- 45 minute drive from a couple of surf beaches (mount manganui and waihi) , 25 mins outside Tauranga city.
No public transport links, Own transport is imperative.

Objetivos de sostenibilidad de las NU que intenta conseguir este anfitrión

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Come and enjoy our laid back place, join in with our family dinners and enjoy working on a small rural lifestyle block/ small holding with a regenerative farming philosophy.
We love to travel and love to meet people from all over to share ideas and make friends (between us we can speak a small amount of Japanese and Spanish but it's pretty basic).

Ayuda
We would appreciate help gardening, maintaining the orchard and veg patch (weeding and mulching, feeding the trees) and with creating the asparagus paddock and native bush area. Tasks may be shared with Al and /or Jess . Chores around the house and cooking could also be an option.

Algo más...
YOU WILL NEED YOUR OWN TRANSPORT.
Easy drive to beaches and town, also to local hot pools. Easy walking distance to the bush walk and swimming hole, or chilling on the deck and enjoying our amazing views. We are early to rise and fairly early to bed as have kids at school. No smoking or vaping inside please. Water is rainwater and heated by solar, so short showers only please. Adequate but slightly limited Wi-Fi (can't support lots of streaming).
