Our aim is to provide a safe and tranquil space for "green camping" for people to enjoy the simplicity of nature, get back to basics and de- stress.
We live on an old farm with lots of space surrounded by beautiful views of the See Valley. Its calm and peaceful. We are just completing renovations on the farmhouse with an aim to move in at the end of January!! Yipee!! We have a pig, chickens and goat, as well as our very friendly dog and cat!
We are looking for workawayers who are keen to spend a a month or so with us to help get the land and site ready for Spring. There is always something to do and we are looking for helpers with a can do attitude - able to get n with tasks independently as well as working with us on particular projects.
Reducing our impact on the environment is important to us so we are learning what we can do to reduce our "footprint" we are keen to learn from others expertise and experience. We want to up and recycle as much as possible so creative ideas are welcome.
We are friendly and open and like the simple things in life - good company, homemade food and a beer, especially round a good fire under the stars. If you feel you would fit in and would like to share your experiences and skills then we would love to stay and help us so we can help others!
come join us!
