The summer experience will include cattle work, irrigation, hay making, vegetable gardening, horse work, poultry work, tree planting and maintenance, shed building, setting up new bee hives, bread making, cheese making and jam making (Apricots, peaches, figs, grapes and mulberries are in season).

Why I became a WWOOF Host
We love to travel and love meeting WWOOFers. We get to improve and expand our language skills, to learn from our guests and to show our children that the world is a fun and friendly place.
We also love sharing our beautiful properties, our amazing wildlife and sharing a little of what we know about farming and incorporating self sufficiency into your life and your parenting.
