Activities & Shift
We are flexible. Always work to do on a farm. We are sensible about waiting till the rain stops or the heat of the day has passed. If you want to work hard one day and take 2 days off to sightsee. Just talk to us.
Rules
Look after your own room and keep it clean for others. Don't eat in your bedroom, clean up after yourself with your laundry, share bathroom so leave it useable for others. Always shut gates behind you and don't leave tools or bits of materials out, put them away after use. And clean as you go so you don't lose stuff. Cows can die from eating rubbish or getting nails stuck in their feet so be mindful of the animals.
