Join me on a small sustainable homestead in Beara Penisula, Ireland

  Description

  I am lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world. The wild Atlantic coast in south west Ireland. I have a small landholding that I am developing into a place of sustainable food production. There is a young orchard and vegetable patch, a beehive, and general garden. I'm looking for help with some general maintenance on the property. This may involve help in the garden, painting, maintaining outbuildings, helping construct chicken run, etc.
  
  I live alone but in a great community and enjoy welcoming family, friends and guests such as Wwoofers and travellers. The area around me is wild, rural, and beautiful. Activities in the district include hill walking, swimming, kayaking, cycling and, if you're so inclined, heading to our great local village inn for a pint of Guinness. There are a number of villages and towns nearby where you can enjoy smart shopping, restaurants, music and other enjoyable tourist activities.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Ireland has a rich culture of storytelling, music, and legend. The landscape is imbued with the culture and has stories written into it. Just walking the hill and coastal trails gives you a deep sense of the history and storied embedded here. There is a strong community in my area with lots of socialising. The Beara peninsula is a stunningly beautiful location with so much to do. Music in local pubs is common plus many other activiites that involve learning about the local stories and culture. There's always a bit of craic to be had.
  
  I'm an Irish Australian who has been living in Beara for over six years. I'm keen on meeting travellers and learning about their lives and cultures.
  
  I'm happy to share my love of ceramics, gardening, cooking and reading. I love meeting new people and I love sharing my space with good people.

  Aide

  The current tasks I am seeking help for include painting my ceramics studio and building a new deck timber or ramp around a small garden shed. I plan to work collaboratively with workaways and I'm always keen to learn new skills while sharing my own. I'm also happy to accept help in managing the land and that includes tree maintenance, planting, mulching, weeding, etc.

  Hébergement

  I have a two level renovated Irish farmhouse with glorious views to the sea and mountains. Visitors have exclusive use of the upstairs two bedrooms - one is set up as a sitting room/study with a fold out bed - and a bathroom, while we will share the living spaces and kitchen. I eat a lot of vegetarian food and am happy to cater for omnivores and to cook together. I love learning about others' culinary skills and knowledge. I'll provide general food and if you want any specialist foods or alcohol please bring your own supplies.

  Autres infos...

  There are buses around the district from the village and I'll happily take you a what I call the tour de Beara while you're here to show you the sites. The buses are great for independent travel, however.

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux
