Description
Hello,
My partner Todd and I have 60 acres of land and where we run in a holistic way. We have horses, cows, sheep, chickens, a big farm garden, dogs cats and two free range boys soon to be 3 and 5 years old. We live on the top of Okaihau hill in Northland, just a short drive to the forest pools, bush walks, the cycle way and only 25 minutes from the Bay of Islands.
Both Todd and I work off farm a few days a week and we need someone to join us in the team effort of running our private farm. Come and join us and you will learn how to run a sustainable, farming , grow and prepare your own vegetables and meat, the basics of horsemanship and animal care, raising cows, sheep and chooks, and much more.
Riding lessons are available once a week . Natural horsemanship experience! Learn to get along with horses and live with the land and farm animals.
As there are a lot of things to do and learn on the farm and therefore it takes some time to get comfortable, we prefer people who are interested in our way of living and would like to stay for a longer period of time 4-6 months.
We have just had spot come up for a month farm/Garden jobs starting July , then looking for a house sitter for the months of August 2025
Please message me for more information. -

Autres infos...
We are only 25 minutes from the Bay of Islands, beaches, and walks. The Bay of Islands is at the heart of Northland. We are 10 minutes from the forest pools and bush walks. To name just a few beaches around here that are excellent for surfers, there is 90 Mile Beach, Shipwreck's Bay, Matauri Bay and Taupo Bay, etc. You can find many sights and monuments of Maori culture here. Kaitaia and Whangarei (bigger cities of the north) are both around 1 hours drive away. Rugby is New Zealand's national sport and part of its culture - Okaihau has its own rugby team and you are invited to watch their games.
