    Description

    We have a family owned farm run by myself Carrie, my husband Gibby and our son.
    We breed sheep for wool and meat. Usually about 5000 sheep and 160 Angus cattle. Our livestock are free range and antibiotic free.
    I also breed small dogs and there is often puppies to help with. Workawayers must like dogs! I prefer someone that has some experience living with dogs.
    We have a large team of working sheep dogs as well. Previous overseas helpers have enjoyed watching the sheep dogs work, and going out on farm to experience sheep farm work.
    We enjoy the company and conversation with volunteers and of coarse I like them helping me catch up on the gardening and helping me with cooking.
    We are always busy and give workawayers the opportunity to be involved in whatever is going on.
    There are some interesting Geological sites as well being quite central to many popular destinations, but a vehicle is needed to visit local attractions. The nearest bus station is 45 minutes from our farm. But I can drive to and from bus if needed.

    I prefer female helpers most of the time as I like the company at home when Gibby is away on the farm for long hours, and usually have Workawayer stay 2 weeks.

    There are many local attractions, nice climate and I can pick up volunteers from bus stop in Oamaru if they don't have a car. It is very peaceful and quiet where we are with beautiful scenery. Oamaru is 40 minutes away with historical buildings and penguin viewing. Mt Cook is an hour and a half away. Alps to Ocean cycle trail is near by. Although workawayers need their own car if they wish to travel to these destinations.
