  Description

  We are a family of 3 adults, living on a smallholding at the Sheep´s Head Peninsula in West Cork by the sea with our dogs, cats, geese and goats. We are well into self-sufficiency, growing lots of vegetables and fruits, keeping bees, producing goat´s cheese for ourselves and so much more. We are very interested in sustainable gardening, permaculture, natural remedies, homeopathy, and grow some herbs, shrubs and trees.
  Although we have a family business offering self-catering accommodation to guests from all over te world, we are not looking for business support but help with our private garden and small holding.

  Aide

  When you are interested in nature and gardening there are lots of interesting things to do here. You could work with us in the garden, sowing and planting in the polytunnel, weeding, pruning hedges and trees, doing projects like helping with a planned outdoor compost toilet or willow arches, planting trees and much more. Most of the time we will work together but sometimes we will give you a task to help on your own. Gardening is a physical task and exhausting so being reasonably fit is helpful.
