Descripción
We are a couple with 3 children, Lucie 11, Joshua 8 and Mia 6. We live in the countryside between Clonmel and Waterford. I am French, from Brittany and speak French only with the kids. Phil is Irish and we speak English when all together. The 3 kids are bilingual.
We are apple growers, we grow 50 acres quite intensively on a rented farm 15min from home. We also have 70 colonies of bees .
We live away from the farm, on a little place in the countryside, we have a 4-5 acres garden, with a few apples trees, plum trees, pears, raspberries, a small vineyard (1200 vines)... Due to extra work on the main business our house garden is after being neglected for the past 2.5 years, we are hoping to get on top of that this winter/Spring.
From February on (up to July/August), we will looking for people interested in helping us with basic gardening tasks : clear up brires and pulling up weeds. And also keeping an eye on the kids when required.
As we are very busy, we believe a couple or 2 friends together would be ideal. so that you have a bit of company to go to the pub or shop. (we will have 2 bikes ready to use). We now have a bit of experience with sudents and we realise we are very business driven and we tend to be swallowed into it to the extrend that at times we have very little time for visitors.
We have a mobile home available just for workaway. It gives you a rightly deserved privacy ;) ... Our kids are very social but they know they are not allowed in the mobilehome ;) We just fitted a little stove in to make it warm. We have plenty timber available. At the minute we have to sort out the bathroom. But we have a staff bathroom outside with an electric shower and toilets. The mobile is fully kitted : microwave, oven, gaz cooker...
You might have very quiet days and other more busy. All can also be organised around your own plans. We can drop you to the local bus station more or less any day you want.
From middle of August we will also be looking for someone to solely look after the kids and the cooking as we will be both working full time on the main farm. (that will be a paid position, you will need a driving licence and to be 25yrs old min as you will have one of our car)
The ideal person will have to be very flexible. our jobs are planned just days before and submitted to weather conditions.
Do not hesitate to contact us so that we can send you more details.
