Program Details

We live on a large farm with livestock and crops, nestled amidst beautiful lanes and forests, with calves and cattle, so we need help with various farming tasks such as:

- Cutting and chopping wood
- Harvesting crops
- Feeding animals
- Monitoring animal health
- Administering medications or vaccinations
- Herding or moving livestock
- Operating tractors, combines, and other machinery
- Fence repair and installation
- Building and repairing structures (barns, sheds, etc.)
- Landscaping and groundskeeping

Additionally, we appreciate help in maintaining our house in general.

You don't necessarily need prior experience in all these tasks; as long as you're physically capable and eager to learn, you'll be able to acquire the necessary skills.


Activities & Shift

In general, the help consists of a maximum of 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, providing you with plenty of time to pursue your interests and explore the area if you wish.


Rules

As a busy mother and farmer, having an extra pair of hands around the house and farm is always helpful.

While babysitting for our children is not required, you are more than welcome to spend time with them, playing games or watching movies. They will love the company! 😍
