Hello Potential Volunteers My name is Paul and it was my dream to change my lifestyle from being an office worker to becoming an alpaca farmer.... here we are 14 years later with 100 alpacas, each individually cherishes with names and unique personalities, plus an assortment of other animals all needing our love :) I have three children: Liam (21), Dylan (9) and Oscar (6), and our 100-acre farm is home to approx.100 alpacas, plus llamas, peacocks, hens, mini pigs, a cat named Sexy, and our farm dog Malta. This year we are expecting 20 'cria' (baby alpacas) and each one will need our help so they can thrive! We need to ensure they get colostrum (filled with antibodies and vital for good health) – have they fed from their mums within the first 24hrs? Are they then drinking enough milk from their mums every day? Are they gaining weight? The well-being of my animals is the most important thing on the farm. Do they have good food and enough water, and the best possible natural environme...

Hi Everyone, we are a small farm with a seasonal restaurant and beautiful gardens only 40 minutes from Hobart, and operate for only 3 days a week. A good plan for us is to help us about 24 hours over 4 or 5 days and use your spare days to explore our region, which is truly amazing, I will help with transport when possible. Your Help can be in the restaurant, maybe some light chores in the garden or around the main house, things we can work out! I like to cook seafood and meat dishes, and whatever produce can sourced from the garden. Thanks for reading. I wish you well for your travels and HelpX experiences.. Cheers, Mike

Kia ora If you'd like to work amongst trees and flowers, stay in a cute cabin with a beautiful view and private verandah, swim in a pool and eat home-cooked meals, you might like a week's stay at Apata Gardens. We have a small flower farm in the sunny Bay of Plenty, between Tauranga and Katikati. The flower farm is set amongst the trees of our two-acre property, which has spectacular views out to sea and across to the Kaimai ranges. My husband has a small olive grove, we have a wide range of fruit trees and grow seasonal vegetables. Our little guest cottage (see the photos) has a bedroom, bathroom and private verandah, and we provide all your meals. We also have a swimming pool. If you have some gardening, horticulture, landscaping or similar experience, or would like to learn, we'd love you to come and stay with us. We are looking for help in our garden - jobs like edging garden beds, applying mulch, pruning shrubs, hand weeding and using a weed eater. Also, I'm happy to share ...

Hi there 😊 We are, Deb and Mark, Caleb (24yrs) Noah (22yrs) and 16 year old Grace. Mark is a production manager at Air New Zealand and I home school Grace (formally a mental health nurse and volunteer coordinator for the local food bank). We live on 17 acres of land with cows, sheep, chickens, a rabbit, a budgie, two cats (Squeak and Sophie) Wilson the dog and three horses called Kalia, Frosty, and Jed. Accommodation is in your own warm and cosy cabin with a bathroom, fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster (just a few metres from the house). Lots of lovely walks nearby. All meals provided (healthy, tasty and nutritious) and in exchange, we'd like some help with gardening and perhaps a bit of painting and cleaning (4 hours per day, and the day off on Sundays 🙂) The town centre has a library, large supermarket, farmer's market, banks, post office, pharmacy, gift shops and cafes and bars etc. Biking distance to the beach (3 kms) and local wineries. Good local walking and biking ...

A beach front section. Kayaking, body boarding, swimming and fishing available for guests. Accommodation and meals provided in exchange for four hours work a day. Gardening, housework, general household maintenance and painting could be requested. My preference is for people to stay a week. Taupo Bay is quite a small community and no public transport is available so it is often easier to have your own transport. Certainly not essential as arrangements can be made for collection and support to get to your next destination. I can collect people from the end of the Taupo Bay road or Mangonui. Many thanks for looking. Fran

We will not need any more helpers until after 20 February 2026 ******** We are a retired couple, but very active and busy.

We have an island retreat in Nelson (near Motueka) on 10 acres and a home in central Nelson. There is plenty to do with weeding, taking care of the garden and cutting grass. Our beach house, near Motueka is on a small island. The ideal helper(s) is self sufficient, detail oriented and a self starter.

Our home in central Nelson is a 5 minute walk from down town. The work consists of gardening and general housekeeping. An average of about 3 hours work per day is sufficient.

Bonjour à tous (English version below) Je m’appelle Alix et suis une mère de famille de 66 ans. C'est ma 1ère expérience en tant que "host". Je recherche uniquement des germanophones/anglophones car je souhaite aussi (à l’occasion d’échanges entre nous) pouvoir converser en allemand/anglais pour améliorer mon niveau. Pas de souci si vous ne parlez pas le français !!! Pour le reste, il s’agit de travaux de ménage à faire ainsi que la préparation des repas : française ou autre. Pour les repas de midi et du soir, nous mangeons ensemble… c’est mieux pour discuter de tout et de rien… selon la formule !!! La gastronomie joue un rôle très important dans les familles françaises : je n’ai pas besoin d’un « Master chef » mais je ne rechigne pas sur les bons petits plats : si vous saviez cuisiner, ce serait parfait. A rajouter à ceci (si vous avez quelques compétences dans ces domaines-là) : l’entretien du jardin et quelques petits travaux de rénovation si besoin. La maison est une villa t...

Nous sommes Pierre-yves et Paul, deux hommes gay. Nous habitons dans le sud ouest de la France, dans le très joli département de la Dordogne. Nous sommes horticulteurs. Nous vivons avec nos deux chats dans notre vieille ferme construite il y a plus de 200 ans. C'est un endroit paisible de la campagne française, à proximité d'un tout petit village. Les commerces et les villes ne sont pas très loin. Notre village s'appel Verteillac, il est situé à proximité de Ribérac. Notre vie tourne principalement autour des travaux en extérieur et par tous les temps. Nous exploitons une pépinière à domicile, ce qui nous laisse peu de temps libre pour entretenir la maison et le jardin. Nos projets incluent donc le jardinage, le désherbage, le défrichage autour de la maison et parfois la maintenance des bâtiments. Les travaux peuvent varier selon la saison. C'est un réel plaisir pour nous de partager toutes ces taches avec des personnes motivées, énergiques et qui apprécies la sérénité de notre styl...

We have been traveling and are back with new ideas and enthusiasm. The cold and wet has set in but that doesn't stop us too much around here. When the sun is out it's crisp and beautiful. We are still working on our new shed. The trees are down and the digger has done its thing and there is a flat pad ready for planning the build. There are even new glow worms already moved in on the banks. Most of the weeds and scrub is now cleared and the trees are being planted. There is still cleanup work to do and gathering the wood that has been stacked in the forest. In otehr parts of the forest there are tracks to build and paths to find, there are two more waterfalls to finalise a track to but our favorite glow worm site now has a path with stairs! Now we can build seats and river crossings. There is always adventures for any that want to get lost in the bush on a nice day and clear a path. Closer to the house we are keen to create new gardens so there is planning, digging, styling, maybe som...

I am an aquatic ecologist who has fortunately been working out of our coastal rain-forest property for 35 years. Driven by strong curiosity, I have recently been developing long-term data sets on the animal life in the forest that surrounds our home, plus on tropical marine fish that are steadily increasing in numbers under the influence of climate change at the nearby very beautiful Seal Rocks area (for details click on my website link below). We have 20 acres with 2 acres cleared and the remainder moist tall forest and rainforest. It is on the coast 3 hrs drive north of Sydney (1.5km from Smiths Lake; 30km south of Forster) See my blog link below to glimpse the accommodation, typical work and fun. We have a 180 squ m vegetable garden at times needing attention which has been enclosed to keep out our friends the wallabies (pademelons), possums, parrots and native bush turkeys.
