Good spoken English essential, as you must be able to understand instructions for health and safety purposes.

After we had a bad start in Ireland with an inappropriate host, Oliver invited us in earlier than planned and we could not have done better!
As spontaneous as our arrival was, the more beautiful were the 2 weeks we spent with and above all WITH Oliver. He welcomed us from the beginning like family members and gave us a "home-feeling". Oliver has… read more

After having two failed workaway experiences, one before it even started, I became discouraged to continue on. I am so glad I did, Oliver not only restored my faith in this organization, he provided me a home away from home! He was kind enough to take me in while another couple was staying there. I only stayed a short nine days and Oliver was more… read more

I was able to work up a bit of muscle by helping chop wood, pressure washing, and assisting with the cattle. The forest was a great place to clear the mind and could be… read more
