Hi! I'm Stuart, a hill country sheep, cattle and deer farmer from the Wairarapa (East of Palmerston North).
I run a 760 Acre farm by myself with my two farm dogs Duke and Maggie which includes 2500 sheep, 120 cattle, and 350 deer, so I am always looking for help with the wide range of jobs on the farm, and have run a woofing style program for the last 20 years.

Since we will be living and working together, it is important that we get on well with each other, and help with meals and dishes is expected.
The meals I cook include meat, so vegetarians would find it difficult here.
There is a lot to do in the local area including hiking, caving, and fishing. If we have time to spare, I will take you out to the coast to fish with my kontiki or rods.El anfitrión ofrece una paga acorde al salario mínimo

I shear all my own sheep, so I need help sorting and pressing the wool, and can even show you how to shear your own sheep if you are keen to try.
If we are not shearing, we will be doing a wide variety of maintenance and other farm work including fencing, post ramming, irrigation, building, firewood, organic vegetable gardening and hay making.
Wet weather can stop us from working outside, however there are numerous inside jobs such as making wooden and deer horn crafts which are sold at craft markets.
No experience is required as training will be provided, however it is important that you can understand English to be able to work safely in a farm environment.

I stayed for two weeks and had a great time. Got to sort wool, repair fences, feed a baby goat and even try myself at shearing. Stuart is a great host and always has something to tell you about. It was a pleasure staying on his farm and experiencing real farm life.

He has a story to tell for every moment and as a typical farm there is never a boring moment around. Whether it's sorting wool, catching lambs or hunting for eggs, you will have plenty to do. And then there is also the… read more
