Description
Hi There!

I'm a primary school teacher working in Tipperary Ireland. I love everything outdoorsy, I grew up on a dairy farm so I appreciate nature, love animals and eating healthy. I grow some vegetables at home in my own garden - celery, potatoes, celeriac, carrots, brussel sprouts, parsnips and more.
Off grid living/self sufficiency/homesteading really resonates with me as I can be really close to the natural world free from distractions and temptations.
I am interested in learning more about vegetable growing in the Mediterranean climate. Rearing animals, fermentation and mushroom growing is something I intend to build on aswell, although I know these are very particular areas and not everyone may resonate with that.
I did an organic gardening course and a permaculture 1 day course in 2024/2025
Hobbies: gardening,cooking, hiking.
I have a degree in Food Science from UCD Ireland and have worked in industry for 3 years.
Please reach out to me if any of these you need help with - Im also flexible I can do other jobs too as needs be.
I have done one workaway before but would love another learning adventure and experience!
I dont smoke and eat everything! love everything from roast beef to raw vegan hummus :)
Thank you!

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Contribute to our ...)

I spent 2/3 weeks with this family and extended community in Oct/Nov. Brilliant experience, I learned how to process wood and about permaculture. (Ishi is a fountain of knowledge!!) There is lots of free time to explore the surrounding countryside and a brilliant time of year to go foraging oranges, grapes, kiwis, figs, pomegranates, kaki etc.… read more

It was such a pleasure to host Katie! She was very interested in learning everything she could from Ishi, worked for days on end in the forest to chip all the branches from trees we've been pruning/harvesting and helped loads in the food gardens too. She is hard working, autonomous, responsible and always up for a good conversation. Thanks Katie… read more

Ohhhh my goodness what a wonderful gift Katie was to my retreat Center and to our guests. Just one of the soundest, kindest, willing helpers that I have ever had. Cooking, housekeeping, gardening, chatting with guests, even minding our ducks…. never said no, just got on with it. She immediately took ownership of her tasks and became genuine… read more
