The experience

We are a retired couple that started a garden. This garden has now grown to 3 acres and we need folks interested in working side by side with us in all aspects of gardening and locally marketing the produce we grow. If interested you can also learn how to work with clay and glass in our fully equipped pottery and glass studio. As hosts we will do our best to make you feel comfortable and part of our home.

Activities & Shift

Depending on the weather we start work in the garden at 8 am. We work till lunch and then take a break. Usually we go back to work at 4 pm and work till 6 pm. The work changes as the season progresses. We start with seeding, move to weeding and watering and then to harvesting. Twice a week we go to the local communities to sell whatever produce is ready at that time.
