Descrição
This is an alpaca farm under development (started in May 2013). The property is 10 acres in size, with a growing number of alpacas, weaner calves, chickens, pony plus domestic animals. The fruit tree orchard and veg garden are both underway, and we have a family-focused lifestyle (children aged 16 and 10yrs) with homemade food. In our family, we speak English, French and German.

Alongside general domestic tasks, there's some outdoor chores available (when the weather allows) to clear overgrown areas, remove thistles, trim hedges and maintain animal paddocks (we use natural farming methods, without sprays).

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Lara Joy)

We loved having Lara stay with us! She is quietly spoken, but also warm and friendly, and we all enjoyed her company! Lara was a last-minute Workaway, and her arrival really helped us out at a busy time on the farm. She did all the outside tasks we asked of her, spent time with my daughter to help with hobbies and happily lent a hand around the… read more

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Julie)

Julie was a real asset on our farm! She took initiative, doing all the tasks we asked of her plus more. She fed our animals, cared for our puppies, helped with my daughter and worked out in the paddocks. On Julie's final day with us, she was part of the small female team helping our vet to TB-check our entire alpaca herd. This is a two-part… read more

Thanks to Sam and all of the family for this nice week!
I really enjoyed the time on the farm.
The work was mostly feeding the animals and removing thistles so very doable.
Sam cooks very nice (vegetarian) food :)

Greets,

Matti is a friendly and polite young man, with a gentle nature. All the tasks he was given on our farm were completed with efficiency. Matti was able to work alone clearing thistles from the paddocks, and as part of a team when we were rounding up alpacas. He joined in family activities and also took the initiative to help my young daughter with… read more

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Janina)

Janina was an absolute joy!!! She is very gentle-natured, and so my 10yr old daughter loved her immediately. She also got on well with my husband and son, both of whom can be difficult to get to know. Every task we gave to Janina was executed well, and she worked particularly hard as part of the annual alpaca shearing team, removing the winter… read more

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Janina) para o anfitrião

First of all I'd like to say thank you to Sam and her family for having me for one week! I really enjoyed the experience at the Alpaca farm. There was always a lot of different things to do and it never got boring. Sam explained everything clearly and I could always ask if I didn't understand anything. Most of the time I worked independently. I… read more

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Marine)

Everything Marine did on our farm she completed well, plus her personality aligned perfectly with our family focus on hard work and plenty of fun. She is definitely one of the best Workaways we have had (and there have been many!), she became a true member of the family during her stay and we have missed her since she left. Marine comes highly… read more

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Amy)

Amy is a lovely girl, and we were very happy to welcome her into our home. She was fabulous with our regular animal care jobs, although she had some difficulty with the heavier farm tasks as she is only a slight build. Once we set her onto trimming bushes and miniature trees, she took to it with enthusiasm and did an excellent job!

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Arisa)

Arisa was an excellent Workaway guest! She is travelling around New Zealand, working on as many alpaca farms as possible because she hopes one day to have her own alpaca farm in Japan. Whilst she stayed with us, Arisa spent time every day with the alpacas and bottle-fed one of our cria. There are other animals on our farm (pony, lamb, cows,… read more

Mona is a quiet girl, who is friendly and willing to learn. She was a big help during her stay, when we needed an extra pair of hands to feed out during the bad weather. Mona also assisted with a public farm tour, helping 30 Taiwanese students meet our alpacas, pony, pigs, lamb and dogs. We wish Mona well for the rest of her travels, and hope she… read more

Maira was really fun to have in our family! We were her last Workaway assignment, but immediately realised when she arrived that her first Workaway family is a neighbouring farm! As we are friends with the owners, they were delighted to hear news from her, too. Maira dedicated herself during her stay to the care of our farm animals, and we knew… read more

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Julien & Lea )

Julien was an awesome help on our farm - he even returned to visit us for a second Workaway stay, and we were delighted to welcome him back. Due to his expertise with horses, he worked well with all our animals and was able to advise on the feeding troughs we were building, to ensure we adapted each one to suit the different needs of our alpacas,… read more

We loved having Annalena to stay with us! She was always cheerful, and every job we gave her was completed perfectly. She got on well with the whole family, and she did not need to be asked twice for any task - she was eager and effective, and overall a great addition to our farm. We're already missing her!

I made a few workaway experiences and this was definitely the best! I stayed with Sam and her family for one week and wish I could have stayed longer. They are all friendly and I felt warmly welcomed. The jobs were good explained and easy to handle. I really enjoyed feeding and living with alpacas and the other animals.

Although we have welcomed many WWOOFers, Felix was our first Workaway - and he totally exceeded our expectations!
