Program Details

We live on an old estate with 13 rescue equines (donkeys, ponies and horses), 135 rescued pigs and various sheep, goats, dogs and chickens. 

The animals thrive in a calm environment; therefore we are looking for positive attitudes, happy to muck in and get through the manual labour, as well as patience and thoughtfulness with animals who need time to come around. This is incredibly rewarding if you enjoy tuning in to the little daily achievements and rehabilitation of the animals.


Activities & Shift

Volunteers will work 5 hours per day starting at 8.30am. We require lots of help renovating a new communal area, building new enclosures, assisting with he erection of a new barn, as well as many other building tasks that crop up each day.


Rules

We require all of volunteers to follow a vegan diet while at the farm. All food we provide is vegan. We do not allow animal products on this farm. We are also a drug and alcohol free zone.
