Description
We are located on the east coast of Ireland, in County Wicklow which is called "the garden or Ireland". Our house is in a valley (Vale of Avoca), in the middle of a woodland area. The site is 2 acres in total and is constant work in progress: wood to gather, to cut, to tidy, weeding, planting, pruning, seeding, harvesting...
There are lots of ruins around the house which dates from early 1800's. We arrived here 16 years ago. We have completely renovated our house with original material and a wooden extension (with a cute green roof). We are managing the land organically, it is a mature land. I am passionate about creating a garden, I am interesetd in permaculture, I am a qualified horticulturist and beekeeper .
We have 3 children that are away from home for now, and the last one living in Dublin during the week and home at the week ends. My husband works full time, mostly in Dublin city.
I have been a forager for a local restaurant for many years, and recently I have started a new full time position outside the home, and I am looking for help with house cleaning, dog walking and some light gardening. You get a self contained accomodation with all comfort, ensuite studio with kitchenette.
There is less work involved than traditional workaway but you will need to do your own cooking even if we can share meals at the weekends.
It is necessary to have your own vehicule because we live in the countryside and access to public transport is limited.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
you will learn about wood (managing wood for wood stoves), permaculture, growing food, medicinal and culinary herbs , taking care of poultry, cooking and preserving fresh food. Ireland is a wonderful country (I can say this especially that I am French!!) and this region is beautiful, with hills and woodlands and the sea. We are not far from Dublin which makes it easy to go for day or week end trips.

We are looking for a single workaway that is happy to fit in our home like one of us, who is able to work independently although also with Clothilde some of the time, who is ok to work outdoors if it is raining (a bit), and to do some
cleaning / cooking/ preserving and all sorts of inside jobs depending of what we are doing and the season. Also need to be comfortable with dog and cats.

We love food and eat everything , we love vegetables but we are not vegetarian, we are happy to welcome vegetarian workaways but cannot cater for serious allergies as our kitchen is full of nuts, spices, and lots of different oils :-)
