Description
=============
We have a family owned farm run by myself Carrie, my husband Gibby and our son.
We raise sheep for wool and meat, and Angus cattle for meat.Our livestock are free range and antibiotic free.
WE DO NOT REQUIRE FARM LABOUR but we are very busy and appreciate volunteers that want to get involved and help. We enjoy sharing and teaching volunteers about sheep and cattle farming.
I also have small dogs and there are occasionally puppies to enjoy. Workawayers must like dogs particularly small dogs.
We have a team of working sheep dogs as well. Previous overseas helpers have enjoyed watching the sheep dogs work, and going out on farm to experience what is involved in raising sheep.
I like help with my daily routine of caring for chickens, dogs, cooking and garden in the summer months. There will be opportunities to go out on the farm to see the farm activities but it is not daily and varies depending on the time of year.
The nearest bus station is 45 minutes from our farm. But I can pick up Workawayer from the bus in Oamaru if needed.
A vehicle is needed if you wish to explore the area. But not necessary if you wish to just stay on the farm for your stay.
I prefer female helpers as I like the company at home when my husband is away on the farm for long hours.

Autres infos...
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.

The timing and timing was right for me and I saw a variety of environments, from bloody births to stillbirths, lambs weakened by the weather even after birth, and lambs that were healthy and thriving.
My hosts are very kind and I consider them like my New Zealand family.
