Program Details

September is Wine making month, so we will be making wine from around 15th September and I need help for at least 2 weeks during that time, I also need help with everything general from painting, garden work and planting vegitables, land, building pathways etc maybe even demoloshing a house :-)
Volunteers must be animal friendly and willing to muck in with the animals and take the dogs for a walk. I have 3 cats, 2 dogs and chickens. I cook a big lunch every day where we eat together and the rest of the day you are free. It's very informal here, you have your own space and privacy. But please note it is hard work!

Activities & Shift

We start to work in the morning from 7/8am to 1/2pm, around 5 to 6 hrs a day followed by Lunch.
Afternoons and Evenings are your own unless we jointly decide to make plans.

Rules

I will provide food like, meat, pasta 🍝 vegetables 🌽 bread, eggs, no problem 👍🏻 but gluten free and vegan 🙄 they may need a cooking contribution.

*You must to have Travel Insurance* and *absolutely no smokers* sorry.
