About the workproject

We need 1 volunteer

We have a small farm a short walk from Matakana village http://www.visitmatakana.co.nz/. We have extensive gardens and orchards, and keep chickens and some sheep. The house is private and peaceful with several separate sleeping quarters for guests around the property, where you can stay.
We need help around the property, gardening, fixing buildings, fences etc.
We need a strong motivated person, not afraid of some hard work.
We would happily take a couple if needed.
