Descrição

We currently have 4 lovely Dexter cows, and 2 Jersey cows waiting to calf, 11 calves that we have been feeding, 6 sheep and 5 lambs, a number of chickens, quail and ducks, and rabbits. Harry the Cat and Ty the farm dog.
We are always pretty busy, and the next project we have is clearing some trees to make space for trees for shelter and bee and bird food.

Ajuda
I am looking for help with the daily running of my 10 acre lifestyle farm.
Things change daily, but an idea of some of the things we will do together would be:
Move the break feed for the cows
Help feed calves if the season is right
Maybe help hand milk Pennyroyal
Planting bee and bird shelter Trees
Weeding,watering, planting, harvesting the vegetable garden or orchard
Helping to cut and store firewood
Compost making
Housework.
I ask you to help out for around 5 hours each day, and in return offer you a warm family home with lots of conversation.
Pick up and drop off at the bus
Good food, and a lovely room with a view, and the pool to swim in
Idiomas
Inglês: Fluente
Acomodação
Your accomodation is in the home. You may be sharing a room with other helpers.
We all eat meals together, and enjoy hearing about your travels
Algo mais...
Please be aware that working on a farm and in the outdoors can sometimes be hard work. If you don't think you could dig a hole, please do not contact me.
we proudly eat our home grown meat, so do not take vegetarians.

We like to live as kindly to the Planet as possible, and ask that you do as well. We only use Earth friendly products.

We live very lose to a wonderful mountain bike park, running tracks in the forest, an adventure tree park, great walks to waterfalls, and awesome fishing, surfing and swimming beaches.

We are in the country so the bus only goes through the main town. Whangarei and Kamo. We will pick you up and drop you back to the bus.

I stayed at Dawn's place for about two weeks. The work was sometimes hard, but defintely rewarding! I got to test my stonw walling skills by restoring an historic wall crumbled down and did all kind of jobs around the farm, from weeding, to paining fences, cutting wood, and setting up fences.
We also had a boat boat fishing and diving trip, and… read more

Charlotte has been wonderful.
I have hosted Charlotte for the past week. During this time she has done housework, weeding, planting, scrubbed the outdoor furniture, helped move cows and proven herself as a very polite, helpful young lady.
She is willing to help prepare dinner and help clean up afterwards.

Dawn is a fun, little crazy (in a good way), hard working, well organized, knows-what-she-wants woman living together with her lovely mother Marion and a couple of fun housemates. And we, we had the pleasure of staying with her for a little over two weeks!

I would have gladly kept him on longer. He was a pleasure to host and his muscle and strength was greatly appreciated.
Fruit tree holes are all dug, and a new fenceline holes drilled and posts rammed.

I stayed with Dawn and her mother for two weeks and it was my first workaway experience ever! And I have to say, I loved it!

Hugo stayed with me for a couple of weeks.
He is very polite and friendly and was always offering to help .
Thanks for the help with the fencing Hugo, that extra fence will make moving stock so much easier.
All the best for the rest of your travels.

I found it difficult to host Jonas.
While I enjoy inviting helpers into my home, I do expect them to be polite and eager to help.
I hope that I am a one off and other hosts find him a pleasure to be around.
Thank you Jonas for the work you did for me.

A big thank you to both Temo and Vivian.
Temo worked tirelessly digging a trench to bury the water pipe to the trough. The ground was not kind to him. He also helped split a good load of firewood.

Thank you to you both for working so hard for me.
