Description
We are a small 5 acre farm just 10 km out of the Mountain town of Methven,
Focusing on organics and sustainable farming practices we are developing our farm to become as great of a resource for our family as possible, for this we try and produce as much of our own food as we can through the running of 10 sheep and chickens.
We run these for meat and also as our fertilizer rotation through our 2 acres of orchard and little home garden.
We preserve a lot of what we grow to help us through off season and produce juice from our apples and vegetables..

We are asking for 4 hours of help a day ...The help which needs to be done will be varied between feeding and care of animals, Garden weeding and planting, firewood splitting and stacking and generally a bit of everything that is required to keep a small family farm charging along!

Autres infos...
The area here is very beautiful hosting many sunny days in both summer and winter.
We are not far from Mt Hutt and Rakaia gorge which have some great Bush walks and mountain Biking! while Methven township is super friendly with some great cafes and amenities.
It would be beneficial to have your own transport as we are 10 km out of Methven and there is no public transport system.
We are a non smoking household so for any smokers we just ask that you respect that when on the property and keep it out of the house.

Me and my partner Charlie have had an interest in organic sustainability for quite some time now and Mosi gave us an opportunity to step into his life to explore this interest. Mosi runs this farm solo with Sarah and their two boys Asher & Flint (who are all awesome by the way!!)… read more
I had a great time helping out where I could and finding out about life on an organic farm. They were very patient when explaining processes to us, and I will definitely try to implement some of them into my life when I return home!
