Permaculture on a farm, New Plymouth, New Zealand

Infos

• 

  Description

  We are developing the gardens following the principles of permaculture: integrating animals (horses / alpacas / chickens / cows) to fertalize the fruit forest, vegetable gardens and riparian planting. We are on a 10 acres farm close to town, the mountain, the sea and the mountain biking park. Our place has a lot of potential and we need help making this place more efficient and make it a community place.
  We are a well traveled family of five (with 3 teenagers) loving a good chat. We all love the outdoor: mainly adventure racing, horse riding, and mountain biking.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are a mix of Kiwi / Dutch / French culture. I am on the farm looking after the short-term rental, the animals and the gardens. My husband is working full time but would spend as much time as he could in the outdoor ( on the Mt Taranaki or further afield). My 18 and 16 years old boys are very active running on the mountain / biking / kayaking while my 14 years old will be with her horses.

  Aide

  I would love help with developing gardens, making this place more efficient thanks to your ingenuity, developing into a more self-sufficient home stay. Help will depend of what you can offer, ranging from weeding to building additional features in the garden, developing ways to be more self-efficient.

  Hébergement

  The accommodation will be in a 6 bedroom house while I don't have paying guests staying. You will have the full house to yourselves unless we have another helping person at the same time as you. We are living 2 km away and would love to exchange as much time with you as we can, but we are an active family spending as much time in the outdoor as we can. We will only provide accommodation with the odd meals taken together. You need to have a car to be independent.

  Autres infos...

  On your spare time you can go surfing / mountain biking / shopping ( all 10 mn away max), tramping on the mountain (20 mn away). You need a car to go around.
  If you are keen you can play on the pool table / table tennis. We also have lots of board games.
