  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Maurice and I both grew up in this area and are passionate about sharing it with visitors.
  We are both young, friendly outgoing people.
  
  I spent 6 months living in New Zealand in 2022 working on a Dairy Farm and therefore understand the importance of being welcoming, supportive and inclusive to working visitors.
  
  We are both involved in our local GAA club (hurling and football) so there would be plenty of opportunities for visitors to attend matches.
  If you are an experienced rider, there is opportunity to horse ride during the months of September-March.
  There is a local pub 5 minutes from our house which is a nice place for a few drinks.
  
  The main learning opportunities we offer are upskilling in the English Language, farm and livestock skills, and also skills for running a business.

  ***CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR ***
  We are currently looking for someone to work in the farm with Maurice from 01/11/25. Minimum one month stay. We are only accepting applicants with previous dairy farm experience, in particular experience milking cows. There is an opportunity for the right person to stay on for several months as a full time employee.
  
  We have 200 dairy cows which calf in February and March every year.
  Maurice works full time on the farm, I (Isabelle) am not working on the farm at the moment as we welcomed our first baby to the world in July, but I will be returning on a part time basis in February. Eileen (Maurice's mother) works full time on the farm for the months of February and March but takes a step back to part-time come April as she has her own B&B business to run for the summer months.
  
  As it is on every farm, we are always busy, but especially during calving season.
  As mentioned above, we both work on the farm full time and therefore the workaway programme would be hugely beneficial to us to have a helping hand and to ease the pressure on us. Any person that does join us as a work away will not be expected to work 10-12 hour days, a helping hand for 3-6 hours a day (either split or in one block) is what we are looking for. We would also offer a flexible work day rota to give people opportunities to explore the surrounding area.
  
  There is also opportunity to help with housekeeping in the B&B (April to October), gardening and/or general housework if you desire.
  
  Work would include a variety of helping with:
  Milking
  Feeding calves
  Caring for calves
  Fencing
  General farm maintenance
  Gardening
  Light housework
  
  Workawayers will be paid for every hour worked and an hourly rate will be agreed upon before your arrival.

  Algo mais...

  The farm is located a 5 minute walk Coolmain and Harbour view beach in Kilbrittain, Co. Cork. It is a beautiful and tranquil place to live, ideal for peaceful country walks and outdoor activities.
  Garretstown and Garylucas beaches are a 10 minute drive from the farm and are accessible by a local bus service. Here you can surf, kayak and windsurf. There are also several coffee docks and Saunas which create a hive of activity and good vibes on a sunny day.
  
  The farm is 20 minutes from Kinsale, Bandon and Clonakilty town which are all interlinked by the local bus service mentioned above. These towns are very popular with tourists as they are bustling with pubs, cafes music and Irish culture.
  
  This really is a unique area that offers endless experiences to any visiting person, but would also suit someone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle of modern day life and chill out by the sea and in nature.
