Détails du programme

If you want to spend time with us, looking after the farm, helping with harvests, and the animals, we hope that you have:
- Practical experience or knowledge of small-scale farming, homesteading, gardening, or land care.
- Skills such as repairing and maintaining tools, tree pruning, planting, or caring for animals.
- Comfort working with animals, including horse, goat, geese, ducks, chickens, pigs, cats, and dogs. Animal care is part of your daily routine. If you are interested in beekeeping, and whilst not a requisite because some are allergic to bees, by all means, come and help!
- A genuine interest in sustainable living, agriculture, and sharing knowledge.
Please ensure you have a clear understanding of your skills and interest in rural life before applying. This environment is best suited to those connected to nature, agriculture, rural lifestyle or environmental studies.
