  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 are looking for a house/farm sitter for the month of Jan 2025 ! contact for more details
  
  Please message me for more information.
