Why I became a WWOOF Host

We both have long experience of working and teaching people of all ages and nationalities and enjoy sharing our farm and life experience. We have hosted visitors of all ages from places as far apart from each other as Ireland, Taiwan, France, Spain, Japan, Korea and Germany etc. Although most have had no experience or skills we have found that having some extra hands at times helps us to make improvements to our farm and animal care.

Organic/Biological methods we use

We do not use chemicals or fertilizers, we use our animals to manage the land and its fertility. We have pastured birds so they have a great life with shelter when they want it, protected by solar powered fences and flock guardian dogs.
