L'expérience

Hi there, we are a big friendly family who find peace in our large countryside space with our three energetic dogs, two free range toddlers and many a project.

Come and get stuck in to help rebuild a large workshop and honey room where some experience in carpentry would be great but not essential! Depending how long you stay there will be opportunities to get out in the garden/veg patch, help with beekeeping and explore what Devon has to offer!

Détails du programme

We have a large workshop which we are part way through rebuilding. It is also going to include a commercial kitchen and honey extraction room to process honey and preserve more of our produce we grow on our land. We have a small orchard with apples, pears and quinces and in recent years have been experimenting with making cider/quince jam/chutneys.
As we have been busy with the construction project the garden and veg patches have become a little neglected so if you are keen gardener who loves a challenge you will be in heaven!


Activités et horaires

We are new to WorldPackers and you would be our first volunteer. Although we have a lot of projects on the go we are very easy-going and want you to get the most out of your stay here. We would chat with you and come up with a weekly schedule based on you as an individual and what you hope to get out of the experience.
In the summer I have to check my bees at least twice a week so there could be opportunity for you to join me and learn bee-handling skills or have a day off to enjoy the surrounding area. At the end of July I extract honey so it's all hands on deck for a week or so.
I would definitely need your help on the workshop build but as my daughter, Evie is trying to grow some veg and look after their 3 year old and 11 month old children she often has her hands full so some gardening or childcare would be very useful if that's what you enjoy!
