Experience life in nature friendly small holding in rural England

The experience

We are looking for someone to contribute to the wildlife friendly management of our environmentally sympathetic small holding. We are developing ways to maximise our rainwater harvesting and growing our own food. Some of the tasks may include carpentry, painting and dry stone walling. Across the week we would expect our guest to help with tasks in the morning but there would be flexibility on this. We are in a rural area so transport required.

We are a couple who are working from home part time. When we are not working we are carrying out chores on our home.
