Descrição
Hi Workawayer's
MUST BE 25+
We would love to hear from you if you would like to help us manage our vegetable garden ,weeding, caring for our large poultry flock, experience planting seeds and seedlings, composting, and general outdoor work.
We are a fun loving family of three (we should say five as our two dogs are part of it as well) living in an old farmhouse outside the village of Collooney. Ducks and chickens, cat, dogs also reside here.
We established our organic vegetable garden many years ago and we try to increase the size bit by bit every year. We have a large flock of chickens and four lovely ducks at present.
We can offer excellent food and a nice room, and good company and would be happy to show you our beautiful scenery and share with you our way of life.
We speak english, german and a little french.
We are looking forward to meeting you.

I had a wonderful time at Tonya and Dickie’s!!! Their home is warm, their attitude is laid-back, and their kindness is genuine. I enjoyed getting the garden ready in springtime, putting the first veggies into the ground, nurturing the little tomato plants, and painting the fence whenever the weather permitted ;-)… read more

Thoughtful, kind and helpful. I spent a month and the time flew by. We also had a great time with their daughter Ada and her partner Tadhg. I never thought I would be swimming in the cold Irish waters :).
Thanks again Tonya for giving me the opportunity to paint!!!
Thank you so much for everything!

Tonya, Dicky, Ada and… read more
