Currently seeking one person or a couple keen to help with various farm projects and maintenance. Firewood gathering, vegetable gardening, event preparation, weed control, and general property maintenance. The ideal HelpXer(s) are willing and able to work independently, don't mind getting dirty and appreciate a good balance of work and play. No experience required. *Currently mostly event preparation* Our 20 acre heritage-listed bush block borders on the beautiful Onkaparinga River (great for swimming!) in the Adelaide Hills, & is home to lots of kangaroos, koalas, possums, birds, etc. We have chickens, vegetable gardens & an orchard. We live in an owner-built passive-solar strawbale house that's completely off-grid. Accommodation is in an old caravan or possibly tent/cabins. We eat wholesome, largely organic food.

Looking for a lovely volunteer(s) to join us and our animals. AVAILABILITY FROM early January. We are fully booked until then. Please contact us if you are interested in helping look after our wonderful animals. Experience with horses is useful but not necessary as long as you are happy to care for them.

Gardening, housework, light mechanical, a bit of hunting, all sorts of things, never boring.A wicked sense of humor is a good asset to bring. handy to Routeburn and Greenstone tracks. You will need your own internet connection as I don't supply wifi. A bit isolated, not for the precious, no trophy hunters!! Please don't apply unless you intend to come for a minimum stay of two weeks. One person only. We do not get involved with internships or visa applications. Vegetarians and vegans would probably not be comfortable as we eat meat daily. I am off grid and totally dependent on solar, so you have to charge your devices during the day and definitely no hairdryers! Accommodation is a house bus in warmer weather or a room in the house in winter, not shared usually. Lastly I also play the guitar (badly) and sing (worse) but it's all about smile not style :-) , please don't come if you have a heavy cold or flu, I'm involved with the elderly. Cheers Al

Hi. We are a fun, friendly household in the sunny Bay of Plenty! I'm a Drama & English teacher and Blair is an electrician. My husband and I have 2 fun, adventurous girls, we also have a dog and cat. We enjoy biking, baking, board games and picnics at the beach, amongst other things. We would love to host people who are honest, friendly, independent, hard-workers and are interested in meeting new people and enjoying what Tauranga has to offer. In exchange for 4 hours work per day (six days a week), you will receive free accommodation, continental breakfast and dinner (please provide your own lunch and snacks) and wifi. Work includes domestic-type chores; mainly cleaning, cooking and possibly baby-sitting - helps if you like children and animals. We have a cat and golden retriever. It is definitely easier if you have a car, although buses are available from here. We had a homestay from China for a year who found their way round on the buses fine but it does take a while.

Rural Wales on the outskirts of a small village. The house is an eco lodge that runs on sunshine and wood. It is located on a cul-de-sac with other houses, a bit boring really. Simple things like managing the garden, composting, painting, fixing buildings, building a duck house, starting bee keeping and basically just allowing things to grow in a relaxed, easy going way. The "work" is very flexible depending on the weather or if there is anything more interesting to do. Paragliding for instance ..work always stops if the weather is good for that. We have a very comfortable, self contained annexe to stay in, a wood fired hot tub, natural healthy food made by an ex super yacht chef ( fussy eaters will hate it here ), a fire pit, a scenic location surrounded by forests, lakes, hills, and maybe the possibility of small recording studio use for aspiring musicians or singers. We are a mid-life, good humoured, kind and easy going pair who don't take many things seriously. You can if...

Spring update: WE HAVE AVAILABILITY from 26th October Spring update: Spring is such a busy time, and we welcome helpers who can help out at home, in the garden, and with the beekeeping. Around home, there's plenty of mowing and weeding in the garden, a bit of housework, and cooking. Spring beekeeping means checking hives, making nucs, and introducing queens. We have a small beekeeping business. We have a large organic vegetable garden and fruit trees. Due to life circumstances, our garden needs a lot of work to return to its former glory, but we are still managing to grow some vegetables amid the chaos. We eat meat and our own eggs. We have 20 chickens and 1 dog who loves humans. We eat healthy food, but love treats too. We make our own yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut and kimchi, and love trying new foods. Sourdough is the next challenge. We live very simply but well. Our home is a basic old farmhouse cottage, which is homey, with a woodburner. Accommodation is in the house in a ...

We are young married couple coming from very different cultures and upbringings. We are living our dream of experiencing what it means to be alive as a proper human being. And that on our own land in one of the most beautiful and wild corners of Scotland. We aspire to become self sufficient in all we need for a happy and healthy life. Our house and the main parts of the croft lie on a hill with a breathtaking view onto Oldshoremore Beach. The view from our living room or from the garden invite for frequent moments of still admiration and gratitude. Alexa grew up on a Finca in the jungle of Costa Rica within her tribe, the Boruca. She was born into a lineage of healers and comprehends deeply the ways of plants and other beings. She learned from her elders about natural health, herbal remedies and energy work. Daniel is a proper German (well...one of the easy-going ones) and traveled for 7 years around the world, learning from Zen Buddhists how to open his heart, and from Indigenous ...

Hi Lovely Help Exchangers Looking for a Sydney host early in November 2026? Need helpers to be here on the 9th and days around then. I’m looking for two people travelling together for 5 to 7 days. Can be a couple or two friends. Staying here you can walk to surf beaches, wetlands and a lake. Sometimes you can hear the surf from the house. I usually have several projects to do, along with tidying and gardening. Since I’m short and have limits on what I can do after having both knees replaced last year, jobs that involve reaching high places or need two people are a priority. The projects depend on my priorities, your skills and how long you stay. You will get a task list. I currently need everything fixed up and beautifully prepared for home swap guests. Tasks might include: • Weeding and pruning the garden • Improving the lawn – aerating, watering and seeding • General handy jobs such as drilling to install shelves, preparing site for new shed, installing blinds • Spring cleaning...

We are hosting again! At Happy HIlls are passionate about growing and processing our own food, we love bugs and bees and all our animals and our wonderful community. Soil health and biodiversity are key players for us. We love hearing new ideas and sharing our successes...and failures :) We are a NZ/German family of five (kids aged 11, 13 and 15) who love to travel and love meeting travellers from all over the world. We used to live on a sailing boat when the kids were smaller and sailed to many tropical islands, exploring reefs, tribal life and off grid living. Now we have swapped that life for one on the land, aiming to regenerate our little farm by introducing more and more diversity into the plant and animal kingdom. Permaculture lies close to our heart and so does animal welfare, truly healthy grown food and simplicity. We love nature, all things animals, plants and bees and our community. Our kids are homeschooled and we love it when helpers bring their stories and traditions ...

We live on an alternative lifestyle block with "off grid", barn living. On the property we have a small organic banana farm which uses permaculture design principles and composted food waste from City to Farm — an initiative that gathers food scraps from urban areas and delivers them to nearby farms. We have horses, dogs, chickens, and graze cattle regeneratively. For accommodation we have a big barn space which can house a lot of people comfortably. Currently one young kiwi staying there. Where possible we grow and eat our own fruit and veges from our vege garden and our small grove of fruit trees. We also have 15 acres of regenerated native bush on our property which needs tending to. Our water is supplied from rain water, and a natural spring, and the property runs on solar. Meals will be vegetarian, happy to accommodate vegans as well! Most of your work will be in the bananas, but there will also be the opportunity to work with the animals, in the bush, in the vege garden/orchar...

We live in a nature sanctuary on Corfu island in Greece. we are a COMMUNITY of PLANTS, ANIMALS AND HUMAN BEINGS, who try to live together IN THE SPIRIT OF NATURE. we are organized similar to a zen monastery. yet we are not affiliated to any religious body, but to the holy body of our mother earth. the earth takes care of us. the earth gives to us what we need. she gives us and she for-gives us – she never asks for money… we admire the communities in nature (ecosystems), where all members balance their needs and gifts in a healthy way, without money, without machines and without chemicals. here in NATURE’S SANCTUARY we try to live in harmony with nature. we try to support and protect all our nature brothers and sisters, who share this sanctuary with us… it is a CHALLENGE TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH NATURE. it is a challenge to protect and support all nature beings in a way, that they have the chance to live in their own natural born communities. we are looking for people, who want to take...

It`s been over 10 years now that we are participating in programs like this. We never get tired of new people staying and having strangers turning into friends. Also our neighbors and others in the village enjoy the exchange. They are always up for a small talk, which is great for you to practice your German! About us: We have organic breed Wagyu Beef (the most expensive meat in the world). There are 3 Horses, gooses, Chicken, sheep and a bunch of Cats that are also part of the Farm. We also grow all sort of crops. Either to feed our animals or to sell them. We also grow apples, plums, pears, potatoes and many other things that grow in a garden. There is never a time during summer where u can not just go outside and eat something straight from where it grows.. Ruesselhausen is a small village. Just perfect to be in the nature. There are bikes for you to use so you can discover the surrounding nature. It would be good if you speak a little German because not all of us speak English. ...

We have a beautiful 6 hectare property in a really awesome valley. We have animals, a stream, lots of things growing. We have a large 3 bedroom house. We have a warm modern caravan for helpers to sleep in and all the other amenities are in the house. We have 3 awesome kids (only two live at home) and a great family vibe. We need help with working the land and making it as productive as we can. We need people who are hard working and take initiative. Prior experience is great but if you are a fast learner and up for a challenge then that is great too. A love of animals is definitely helpful as well. Projects include - gardening, building, organising, helping with animals, help around the house, fencing, tree planting and more. Cheers Regan and Lisa

Kia ora, travellers! Haere mai - welcome to my whare (home) in beautiful Honeymoon Valley, surrounded by native rainforest, birds and insects. 30 years ago, we built this eco-earth house using local clay from right under our feet. This whenua used to be just grass for cows, it now has mature trees, orchards, and organic gardens. Life here is peaceful and quiet, perfect for enjoying nature. I am part of the local Honeymoon Valley Landcare Trust, involved in conservation work, protecting native forest, birds, lizards, and insects. I trap predators and remove invasive weeds. I use organic/permaculture methods in my gardens for my vegetables, fruit trees, chickens. I need help with mowing, brush-cutting, compost-making, maintenance and fixing things (basic carpentry, painting, sewing), cleaning, chopping firewood. I bake bread, make apple cider vinegar, bottle fruit, jam, chutney, sauerkraut, and collect seeds. On my wish-list: The chicken house needs a lean-to roof, and another need...

* Currently looking for someone to start from late November /early December 2026. Minimum one month stay. This period covers the school holidays so looking for some extra flexibility around hours - a couple would be ideal. Thanks!* We're a Kiwi family of four (an economist/researcher, a social worker/therapist and two primary/intermediate school aged children). We spent 2020 in France and we're looking for someone who can help the girls maintain their language skills. Failing that, I have spent a few years in Japan and would love to pass on knowledge of the language and culture to the kids as well, so a Japanese person would also be good. We're looking for someone who can meet the kids at school four days a week and keep an eye on them till we finish work (roughly 3pm-5.30pm) during term, with some longer days during the holidays. They're nice kids and reasonably well-behaved (most of the time). Offering accommodation and evening meals, especially if you're keen to share the cook...

We've been part of Helpx for several years now and have met some wonderful people, many of whom we still keep in touch with. We live in York, in the north of England, where we have a garden and (a 10 minute walk away) an allotment where we grow fruit and vegetables. We try to cultivate using the `no-dig` method and like to re-use and recycle wherever possible. Our house has solar panels on the roof for hot water and electricity, as we are keen to reduce our impact on the environment. The work includes turning and spreading compost, making new beds and paths, weeding, seed sowing, planting out, grass cutting and fence painting. From early summer, fruit and vegetables are ready to be harvested and prepared for freezing and conserving. If the weather is bad then there are always jobs to get on with in the house, garage and greenhouse. We can offer all meals, laundry and accommodation, (own bathroom) in return for a helping hand, usually around 4 hours a day, 5/6 days a week, or e...

Usually it is only a one to two week stay but that is negotiable depending on how much work there is and how well we all get on. Sometimes I will accept ...

Looking for a lovely volunteer(s) to join us and our animals. AVAILABILITY FROM early January. We are fully booked until then. Please contact us if you are interested in helping look after our wonderful animals. Experience with horses is useful but not necessary as long as you are happy to care for them. You will live as part of the family - during your stay, our home will be your home. We are a married couple living on a property with our DOGS, HORSES and an elderly but treasured chicken. Depending on the time of year, we also run a small scale rescue and rehabilitation centre for hedgehogs. There are stunning views looking out over a Devon Wildlife Nature Reserve and beautiful countryside. We live in a very attractive rural area of Devon on the outskirts of a beautiful old village called DOLTON (please look on "Google Maps") about a 45 minute drive from Dartmoor National Park. The village has a very friendly and active community, a church, 2 excellent traditional pubs, a post off...

Gardening, housework, light mechanical, a bit of hunting, all sorts of things, never boring.A wicked sense of humor is a good asset to bring. handy to Routeburn and Greenstone tracks. You will need your own internet connection as I don't supply wifi. A bit isolated, not for the precious, no trophy hunters!! Please don't apply unless you intend to come for a minimum stay of two weeks. One person only. We do not get involved with internships or visa applications. Vegetarians and vegans would probably not be comfortable as we eat meat daily. I am off grid and totally dependent on solar, so you have to charge your devices during the day and definitely no hairdryers! Accommodation is a house bus in warmer weather or a room in the house in winter, not shared usually. Lastly I also play the guitar (badly) and sing (worse) but it's all about smile not style :-) , please don't come if you have a heavy cold or flu, I'm involved with the elderly. Cheers Al

Hi You will not regret coming to us! We are looking for a couple to help in our large and beautiful garden and crack and sort walnuts using a commercial walnut cracking machine.

Hi. We are a fun, friendly household in the sunny Bay of Plenty! I'm a Drama & English teacher and Blair is an electrician. My husband and I have 2 fun, adventurous girls, we also have a dog and cat. We enjoy biking, baking, board games and picnics at the beach, amongst other things. We would love to host people who are honest, friendly, independent, hard-workers and are interested in meeting new people and enjoying what Tauranga has to offer. In exchange for 4 hours work per day (six days a week), you will receive free accommodation, continental breakfast and dinner (please provide your own lunch and snacks) and wifi. Work includes domestic-type chores; mainly cleaning, cooking and possibly baby-sitting - helps if you like children and animals. We have a cat and golden retriever. It is definitely easier if you have a car, although buses are available from here. We had a homestay from China for a year who found their way round on the buses fine but it does take a while.

Rural Wales on the outskirts of a small village. The house is an eco lodge that runs on sunshine and wood. It is located on a cul-de-sac with other houses, a bit boring really. Simple things like managing the garden, composting, painting, fixing buildings, building a duck house, starting bee keeping and basically just allowing things to grow in a relaxed, easy going way. The "work" is very flexible depending on the weather or if there is anything more interesting to do. Paragliding for instance ..work always stops if the weather is good for that. We have a very comfortable, self contained annexe to stay in, a wood fired hot tub, natural healthy food made by an ex super yacht chef ( fussy eaters will hate it here ), a fire pit, a scenic location surrounded by forests, lakes, hills, and maybe the possibility of small recording studio use for aspiring musicians or singers. We are a mid-life, good humoured, kind and easy going pair who don't take many things seriously. You can if...

Sorry folks, we are now fully booked until the beginning of April 2027. There may be a cancellation, but these are very rare, but if you are in the area, reach out, we love to chat :) As well as the normal homesteading tasks, if you want to learn about wine making, bee keeping, jewellery making, or take some self defence lessons we could be a great match. Have a think, take a look at our reviews and if you are interested, drop us a line, *** Our beautiful countryside homestead (only 5 acres so not really a farm) is in the mountainous hills above the historic castle town of Caccamo, Sicily.

Spring update: WE HAVE AVAILABILITY from 26th October Spring update: Spring is such a busy time, and we welcome helpers who can help out at home, in the garden, and with the beekeeping. Around home, there's plenty of mowing and weeding in the garden, a bit of housework, and cooking. Spring beekeeping means checking hives, making nucs, and introducing queens. We have a small beekeeping business. We have a large organic vegetable garden and fruit trees. Due to life circumstances, our garden needs a lot of work to return to its former glory, but we are still managing to grow some vegetables amid the chaos. We eat meat and our own eggs. We have 20 chickens and 1 dog who loves humans. We eat healthy food, but love treats too. We make our own yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut and kimchi, and love trying new foods. Sourdough is the next challenge. We live very simply but well. Our home is a basic old farmhouse cottage, which is homey, with a woodburner. Accommodation is in the house in a ...

We are young married couple coming from very different cultures and upbringings. We are living our dream of experiencing what it means to be alive as a proper human being. And that on our own land in one of the most beautiful and wild corners of Scotland. We aspire to become self sufficient in all we need for a happy and healthy life. Our house and the main parts of the croft lie on a hill with a breathtaking view onto Oldshoremore Beach. The view from our living room or from the garden invite for frequent moments of still admiration and gratitude. Alexa grew up on a Finca in the jungle of Costa Rica within her tribe, the Boruca. She was born into a lineage of healers and comprehends deeply the ways of plants and other beings. She learned from her elders about natural health, herbal remedies and energy work. Daniel is a proper German (well...one of the easy-going ones) and traveled for 7 years around the world, learning from Zen Buddhists how to open his heart, and from Indigenous ...

Hi Lovely Help Exchangers Looking for a Sydney host early in November 2026? Need helpers to be here on the 9th and days around then. I’m looking for two people travelling together for 5 to 7 days. Can be a couple or two friends. Staying here you can walk to surf beaches, wetlands and a lake. Sometimes you can hear the surf from the house. I usually have several projects to do, along with tidying and gardening. Since I’m short and have limits on what I can do after having both knees replaced last year, jobs that involve reaching high places or need two people are a priority. The projects depend on my priorities, your skills and how long you stay. You will get a task list. I currently need everything fixed up and beautifully prepared for home swap guests. Tasks might include: • Weeding and pruning the garden • Improving the lawn – aerating, watering and seeding • General handy jobs such as drilling to install shelves, preparing site for new shed, installing blinds • Spring cleaning...

We are a cultural and arts community that is working towards being self-sustained. The community is situated in the mountains of Monchique, Portugal surrounded by nature. Our community provides an alternative way of living with permaculture gardens, farm animals, sustainability projects, and arts and cultural workshops. It is a great place to come to meet other like-minded people if you are passionate about sustainability and alternative living. We hold community meetings throughout the week alongside activities and workshops, such as quiz nights, dance nights and yoga classes. If you have something you are passionate about and want to share with others, we would love for you to run a workshop.

We are hosting again! At Happy HIlls are passionate about growing and processing our own food, we love bugs and bees and all our animals and our wonderful community. Soil health and biodiversity are key players for us. We love hearing new ideas and sharing our successes...and failures :) We are a NZ/German family of five (kids aged 11, 13 and 15) who love to travel and love meeting travellers from all over the world. We used to live on a sailing boat when the kids were smaller and sailed to many tropical islands, exploring reefs, tribal life and off grid living. Now we have swapped that life for one on the land, aiming to regenerate our little farm by introducing more and more diversity into the plant and animal kingdom. Permaculture lies close to our heart and so does animal welfare, truly healthy grown food and simplicity. We love nature, all things animals, plants and bees and our community. Our kids are homeschooled and we love it when helpers bring their stories and traditions ...

We live on an alternative lifestyle block with "off grid", barn living. On the property we have a small organic banana farm which uses permaculture design principles and composted food waste from City to Farm — an initiative that gathers food scraps from urban areas and delivers them to nearby farms. We have horses, dogs, chickens, and graze cattle regeneratively. For accommodation we have a big barn space which can house a lot of people comfortably. Currently one young kiwi staying there. Where possible we grow and eat our own fruit and veges from our vege garden and our small grove of fruit trees. We also have 15 acres of regenerated native bush on our property which needs tending to. Our water is supplied from rain water, and a natural spring, and the property runs on solar. Meals will be vegetarian, happy to accommodate vegans as well! Most of your work will be in the bananas, but there will also be the opportunity to work with the animals, in the bush, in the vege garden/orchar...

We live in a nature sanctuary on Corfu island in Greece. we are a COMMUNITY of PLANTS, ANIMALS AND HUMAN BEINGS, who try to live together IN THE SPIRIT OF NATURE. we are organized similar to a zen monastery. yet we are not affiliated to any religious body, but to the holy body of our mother earth. the earth takes care of us. the earth gives to us what we need. she gives us and she for-gives us – she never asks for money… we admire the communities in nature (ecosystems), where all members balance their needs and gifts in a healthy way, without money, without machines and without chemicals. here in NATURE’S SANCTUARY we try to live in harmony with nature. we try to support and protect all our nature brothers and sisters, who share this sanctuary with us… it is a CHALLENGE TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH NATURE. it is a challenge to protect and support all nature beings in a way, that they have the chance to live in their own natural born communities. we are looking for people, who want to take...

It`s been over 10 years now that we are participating in programs like this. We never get tired of new people staying and having strangers turning into friends. Also our neighbors and others in the village enjoy the exchange. They are always up for a small talk, which is great for you to practice your German! About us: We have organic breed Wagyu Beef (the most expensive meat in the world). There are 3 Horses, gooses, Chicken, sheep and a bunch of Cats that are also part of the Farm. We also grow all sort of crops. Either to feed our animals or to sell them. We also grow apples, plums, pears, potatoes and many other things that grow in a garden. There is never a time during summer where u can not just go outside and eat something straight from where it grows.. Ruesselhausen is a small village. Just perfect to be in the nature. There are bikes for you to use so you can discover the surrounding nature. It would be good if you speak a little German because not all of us speak English. ...

We are a couple from Austria and we live since january 2014 in the middle of the Swedish nature together with around 24 Alaskan Huskies. Our farm is in the middle of now-where at the beginning of Swedish Lapland and you can expect a lot of nature, lakes, woods and a lot of wild animals like bears, lynx, moose, reindeers and many different kind of birds. You can help us with training and feeding the dogs, cleaning the kennels. In wintertime there is also help needed with snow shoveling. You should be able to speak English (B2) or German. You should also be able to work sometimes alone. There is plenty of spare time, to explore the nature and the surrounding. You should be at least 18 years old, a teamplayer, love to be outside, it is not necessary that you have knowledge about dogs or in special about sleddogs. You will get all the information from us. You should arrive healthy. What we offer is accommodation in a cabin with bathroom and toilet. And you will get groceries which yo...

We have a beautiful 6 hectare property in a really awesome valley. We have animals, a stream, lots of things growing. We have a large 3 bedroom house. We have a warm modern caravan for helpers to sleep in and all the other amenities are in the house. We have 3 awesome kids (only two live at home) and a great family vibe. We need help with working the land and making it as productive as we can. We need people who are hard working and take initiative. Prior experience is great but if you are a fast learner and up for a challenge then that is great too. A love of animals is definitely helpful as well. Projects include - gardening, building, organising, helping with animals, help around the house, fencing, tree planting and more. Cheers Regan and Lisa

Kia ora, travellers! Haere mai - welcome to my whare (home) in beautiful Honeymoon Valley, surrounded by native rainforest, birds and insects. 30 years ago, we built this eco-earth house using local clay from right under our feet. This whenua used to be just grass for cows, it now has mature trees, orchards, and organic gardens. Life here is peaceful and quiet, perfect for enjoying nature. I am part of the local Honeymoon Valley Landcare Trust, involved in conservation work, protecting native forest, birds, lizards, and insects. I trap predators and remove invasive weeds. I use organic/permaculture methods in my gardens for my vegetables, fruit trees, chickens. I need help with mowing, brush-cutting, compost-making, maintenance and fixing things (basic carpentry, painting, sewing), cleaning, chopping firewood. I bake bread, make apple cider vinegar, bottle fruit, jam, chutney, sauerkraut, and collect seeds. On my wish-list: The chicken house needs a lean-to roof, and another need...

* Currently looking for someone to start from late November /early December 2026. Minimum one month stay. This period covers the school holidays so looking for some extra flexibility around hours - a couple would be ideal. Thanks!* We're a Kiwi family of four (an economist/researcher, a social worker/therapist and two primary/intermediate school aged children). We spent 2020 in France and we're looking for someone who can help the girls maintain their language skills. Failing that, I have spent a few years in Japan and would love to pass on knowledge of the language and culture to the kids as well, so a Japanese person would also be good. We're looking for someone who can meet the kids at school four days a week and keep an eye on them till we finish work (roughly 3pm-5.30pm) during term, with some longer days during the holidays. They're nice kids and reasonably well-behaved (most of the time). Offering accommodation and evening meals, especially if you're keen to share the cook...

We've been part of Helpx for several years now and have met some wonderful people, many of whom we still keep in touch with. We live in York, in the north of England, where we have a garden and (a 10 minute walk away) an allotment where we grow fruit and vegetables. We try to cultivate using the `no-dig` method and like to re-use and recycle wherever possible. Our house has solar panels on the roof for hot water and electricity, as we are keen to reduce our impact on the environment. The work includes turning and spreading compost, making new beds and paths, weeding, seed sowing, planting out, grass cutting and fence painting. From early summer, fruit and vegetables are ready to be harvested and prepared for freezing and conserving. If the weather is bad then there are always jobs to get on with in the house, garage and greenhouse. We can offer all meals, laundry and accommodation, (own bathroom) in return for a helping hand, usually around 4 hours a day, 5/6 days a week, or e...

You don't need to have an overwhelming desire to save the world, live off the land, or be more useful than a Swiss army knife, to stay here. A nice honest person is good enough. Your pronouns or political correctness are better off left in your backpack🤣😉 This is a relaxing place, close to nature, away from the backpacker trail on the coast but still got a bit happening, somewhere to recharge your batteries, do a bit of work, have a laugh and meet some real Aussies, maybe get out of your comfort zone a bit😜 My place is a cattle farm with one rough headed(inside and out 🤣,) skinny, old farmer, one dog, some cattle, lots of birds and wildlife, relaxing place, near Kyogle, a quiet country town. It is 1.5 hours drive west from Byron Bay, 2 hours south of Brisbane by train. Very close to the beautiful Border Ranges National...
