Greetings HelpX people!! We live on a beautiful small property 5 minutes drive from Sheffield and not far from Cradle Mountain and beautiful beaches. Cynthia is a chef and Chris is a horticulturalist and we enjoy spending time outdoors gardening, building, renovating and playing our old piano.

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...

Next vacancies likely to be from late October. We appreciate help with DIY repairs and maintenance, timber work, help with gardening, housekeeing, cooking, duck and chicken rearing and dog walking on the beach. Fishing, snorkelling, and rainforest walks can help occupy your spare time. We hatched two goslings in mid July and are hand-rearing them, real characters! Working times need to be a bit flexible depending on weather and time of year. We can start 4 hours outside work at this time of year at about 08.00 hr, five mornings a week and at 9 am on Sundays. Saturday is your day off. As it gets hotter and the days get longer, we start earlier. Depending on your skills set, most of the work may be outside, based out of a well-equipped workshop and/or in our vegetable garden and hen and duck coops. ‍But limited housework also needs some of your time! Opportunities on your day off include fishing, sailing, snorkeling, weather permitting of course, rainforest walks and river swimm...

Hello, we are Cat and Silvan, who is 7 years old. We live on an organic permaculture farm in the Pyrenees in the south of France. The property is situated in a small hamlet of 8 houses bordering a wild forest including chestnut, ash, oak, acacia and cherry. We grow much of our own fruit and vegetables and collect hazelnuts, walnuts, mushrooms and wild herbs from the forest. I cut my own wood and much of the wood used in the construction has been harvested from the land. We have 5 goats and friends graze their horses during the summer months. I enjoy eating fresh food from the garden and like to be creative with dishes with what can be sourced locally rather than necessarily going to a big supermarket. We buy locally and organic where possible to supplement what we have in the garden. When there are more of us here we often do a rotation of cooking, which is great as we get to taste each others variations and be inspired. If you are not confident in cooking don't worry, it is a gre...

Full accommodation, wifi etc and all meals in return for 4 hours help per day. Stay between 6 and 14 days. Woofing help is assistance with general section maintenance, seasonal garden chores, weeding on a steep bank area. Landscape gardening or similar experience is ideal but not essential. Must be fit and strong enough to do tasks like lawn mowing, digging and pulling tough weeds, collecting animal manure in a wheel barrow and lawn mowing. Some flexibility around when hours are worked each day. Working holiday visa (still required for volunteering) and own transport is needed. We are a retired couple living on 2 acre lifestyle block with hens, Indian Runner ducks, and Alpacas in a quiet semi rural area fifteen minutes drive east of Rotorua. We live largely self-sufficiently, meals are mainly from our extensive food garden and orchards. Most dietary needs can be catered for, if you tell us in advance, we are usually gluten free ourselves. Accommodation: large bedrooms with queen ...

We are a cosmopolitan family (British /Chinese) with two children (both in education in Auckland). We moved to Northland NZ 12 years ago after both working as senior execs in Asia for many years. Our home is a lifestyle block of 32 acres, half of which is protected woodland, (mostly huge Puriri trees up to 600 years old which cast a peaceful spell on everyone who enters). The rest is pasture - we are awaiting our next delivery of 10 steers (which we keep for 12- 18months) plus we keep a few chickens. We live in a historic area of park-like scenery between Kerikeri, Paihia and Kaikohe in Northland. These towns are about 15-20 minutes easy drive away, plus not far away there are many great beaches on either coast. Own transport thus desirable although we can loan a small car for some local driving. Clean driving license essential. We can help with improving English or starting simple Chinese! We need help with gardening - weeding/pruning/moving plants around, planting vegetable...

We are looking for helpers who can help for a minimum of two weeks, ideally three weeks minimum, but helpers who can stay a bit longer, up to six weeks, or similar, are preferred. This really suits helpers who are keen to learn about farming and are interested in that as part of their travels through NZ. We provide you with your own separate, private, peaceful accommodation, with en-suite, washing machine and kitchen with beautiful views of rural land and Tasman Bay. Wi-Fi, power and water included, plus food allowance. Helpers love that it also gives them a break from van-life and they can spread out and relax in their own space and explore locally. At present we are looking at availability from the late October/early November and onward through the summer. You must be physically strong, hard-working, practical and fit, with plenty of stamina - as well as not being afraid of getting your hands dirty. Beautiful hill country sheep and cattle farm, with views of the sea and mountain...

SORRY BUT I AM NOT HOSTING HELPERS AGAIN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2026. I own a 15 acre lifestyle farm overlooking the sea at Kuaotunu on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula. I have 6 Alpacas, 2 cattle, 1 cat and 1 dog. I would like help to care for the gardens, grounds, 2 glamping sites and animals. I offer 3 good meals and morning tea per day, and accommodation in a caravan, in return for 4.5 hours work per day that you are with me. If you wish to work a full day and have a full day off, I will do my best to accommodate that. The property has stunning close views of the sea and islands, a Pa site (a high hill where there was once a fortified Maori village)and is about 10-15 minutes walk down to the beach. Kuaotunu village is very small but is in a beautiful location with a general store and a very cool rustic beach shack style pizza restaurant - Lukes Kitchen - which has excellent wood fired pizzas and other food and often has live music in the summer. There is also a fabulous cafe - Kua Kawh...

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 live on a 5 acre hobby farm in the beautiful Huon Valley, Southern Tasmania. Our family consists of three young adult children (two live at home), two horses, many chickens, ducks, geese, goats and two gorgeous dogs. We grow organic vegetables and breed heritage chickens in an attempt to be more sustainable. Jobs involve general gardening, helping with the animals and housekeeping. If you would like a Tassie small farm experience message us with some details of the work you have previously done. We have separate accommodation, with a bathroom. All our HelpXers have loved working and living with us and I hope you will too (please remember Tassie is a cold place in winter). There are many areas of natural beauty in Southern Tasmania which are all fairly close to us. For example, the Hartz mountains, Hastings Caves and the Tahune Airwalk. We live close to a sleepy village called Cygnet and Hobart is only a 40min drive away. (Unfortunately we can't approve 2nd year visas)

Hello there, I am 40 years old and I have studied chiropractic in Wales for 4 years, I speak English, French and Italian, two years ago I got back in Sicily and I came into possession of this amazing place. The property is based in Sicily, on a promontory that faces the sea. It is an historical family house with an amazing view and a almost a tropical micro-climate. It is also possible to reach the beach by the stairs. In the first year I have used to work alone to renovate the place, and making a permaculture "EDEN" garden in a piece of family land close to home, until I discovered Helpx with which I speeded up and brought to completion several projects. We have built many, MANY synergic gardens, a green house for the winter,planted several new tropical fruit trees (mango, avocado, melarosa....) and perennials. I can accommodate 4 people in 2 apartments, that have a kitchen and bathroom facilities, I don't need help in working for the whole week, weekends are free for who will c...

Hi, I am excited to be able to host again! I love living close to nature, co creating with my environment and doing my best to live with awareness.

Our goal is to restore nature, promote climate action, and empower communities and schools through environmental education and sustainable activities. Our work includes tree planting, environmental conservation, climate change awareness, school environmental education, community sensitization, and practical activities that encourage people to protect and restore their local environment.

WELCOME TO PARADISE GLENORCHY! We are a busy couple working full time and needing help with our property. Based in the spot chosen by the original settling family in the area, we have a really well established garden that needs taming and some quirky buildings that need some TLC. Looking for hardy gardeners, handy DIYers and folks who are keen to just generally get stuck in. We have a great retro caravan, sleep out, outdoor kitchen and bathroom set up that's screaming out for someone, two friends or a couple to bring it to life. At this stage we a only provide breakfast, but could do lunch in some situations. We have heaps of freezer space and suggest you stock up on a few dinners,and drinks in Queenstown before you get here as the local shops are a bit pricey. Spark phone signal is limited to the end of the drive, OneNz works just fine. - free internet available. We recommend helpers have there own wheels, as we're 5km outside of Glenorchy.There is however a bike you can use if ...

Hi everyone! We have a beautiful property a short walk/drive away from a gorgeous New Zealand beach. We live 45 minutes from Hamilton and 20-25 minutes from Raglan. Our area is very remote - we have some neighbours but there are no shops here or public transport, just farmland. So if you enjoy being away from cities and people then this is the place for you! Our property suits people who enjoy the outdoors and surfing, hiking, walking, animals, solitude. There is a beautiful mountain right by our house for hiking, great surfing and fishing in the area, and Raglan (a little over 20 minutes away) which is a vibrant and energetic little beach town with world famous surf. This exchange is for accommodation only. We have a cabin with a big bed and beautiful views of the farmland and mountain and sea. There is a kitchenette for you to keep and cook your own food. The bathroom is about 20 metres away from the cabin and it is a composting toilet with shower that does the job but is gravity-f...

I live with my adult son in a rural area 20 minutes from the Wellington CBD. I have other family members living nearby. A daughter, son in law and two teenage grand-daughters. They live on a lifestyle property and my property is a large section backing onto native bush, in a rural setting. We are used to hosting people because I used to have Japanese students billeted with me a few years ago. There is no bus service where we are but about 8 minutes over the hill is a large suburban area called Karori which does have a bus service and shops, a library, public swimming pool and other amenities. I would be prepared to drop a guest over the hill to the bus if they didn't have their own transport. About 20 minutes by car, from my house, you are in the Wellington CBD with all the amenities the city offers. I am a retired school teacher. I am active in my local community and do voluntary work. One of the things my family are passionate about is the environment and we all belong to a riparian...

Update, possible accommodation available for kiwifruit staff. My caravan is available, not fancy but clean & waterproof. I'm a beekeeper in need of assistance, either with the bees directly or not. I'm located 16km South of Te Puke on a property that has a back boundary of native forest. I'm usually able to host people at any time of year, but am busiest in the spring. I currently have building projects happening, as well as lots of painting, waxing new bee frames, and also hands on beekeeping for anyone who is keen. I also keep sheep and cattle on the property here, and hunt deer and pigs in the forest. These grass and forest fed animals form a large part of the menu here, so vegetarians probably won`t be happy with the diet. I cater to lots of herbivores and they all have hooves or paws. The accommodation is a spare room in the house. The house is a late 1800s villa in need of replacement, but it keeps the weather out and I find it comfortable. Housework isn't high on my priority ...

We welcome helpx helpers at anytime of the year. We are located near Kerikeri, a beautiful quaint town, 10mins drive away, as well as Bay of Islands (Paihia), 30 mins drive away, Lake Manuwai is 13mins drive and we have a river at the bottom of our property for beautiful summer time swims. We have lots of beautiful native bush walks and things to do in the local area. We have a lifestyle block needing help and maintenance. Our exchange is 4 hours of help per day, per person. We provide accommodation, and meals. We ask that you do your first 4 hours helping on the day that you arrive, so that on the day you leave you are able to just clean and vacuum your room, wash the linen and pack up, to move on to your next destination. So we prefer helpers to arrive here early, ideally before midday. We usually accommodate guests for 2-4 days at a time but can extend that in the right circumstances. We welcome guests any time of the year. We are currently looking for people with some experi...

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. One of the best things here is the variety of tasks you can do as a volunteer, which gives you the opportunity to learn new skills and discover what you enjoy doing most. We have a combination of short-term and long-term volunteers and on average we have between 10 to 20 volunteers and resident...

WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOME HELP ON THE ALLOTMENT FOR A WEEK IN OCTOBER 2026 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 ...

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...

Next vacancies likely to be from late October. We appreciate help with DIY repairs and maintenance, timber work, help with gardening, housekeeing, cooking, duck and chicken rearing and dog walking on the beach. Fishing, snorkelling, and rainforest walks can help occupy your spare time. We hatched two goslings in mid July and are hand-rearing them, real characters! Working times need to be a bit flexible depending on weather and time of year. We can start 4 hours outside work at this time of year at about 08.00 hr, five mornings a week and at 9 am on Sundays. Saturday is your day off. As it gets hotter and the days get longer, we start earlier. Depending on your skills set, most of the work may be outside, based out of a well-equipped workshop and/or in our vegetable garden and hen and duck coops. ‍But limited housework also needs some of your time! Opportunities on your day off include fishing, sailing, snorkeling, weather permitting of course, rainforest walks and river swimm...

Hello, we are Cat and Silvan, who is 7 years old. We live on an organic permaculture farm in the Pyrenees in the south of France. The property is situated in a small hamlet of 8 houses bordering a wild forest including chestnut, ash, oak, acacia and cherry. We grow much of our own fruit and vegetables and collect hazelnuts, walnuts, mushrooms and wild herbs from the forest. I cut my own wood and much of the wood used in the construction has been harvested from the land. We have 5 goats and friends graze their horses during the summer months. I enjoy eating fresh food from the garden and like to be creative with dishes with what can be sourced locally rather than necessarily going to a big supermarket. We buy locally and organic where possible to supplement what we have in the garden. When there are more of us here we often do a rotation of cooking, which is great as we get to taste each others variations and be inspired. If you are not confident in cooking don't worry, it is a gre...

Full accommodation, wifi etc and all meals in return for 4 hours help per day. Stay between 6 and 14 days. Woofing help is assistance with general section maintenance, seasonal garden chores, weeding on a steep bank area. Landscape gardening or similar experience is ideal but not essential. Must be fit and strong enough to do tasks like lawn mowing, digging and pulling tough weeds, collecting animal manure in a wheel barrow and lawn mowing. Some flexibility around when hours are worked each day. Working holiday visa (still required for volunteering) and own transport is needed. We are a retired couple living on 2 acre lifestyle block with hens, Indian Runner ducks, and Alpacas in a quiet semi rural area fifteen minutes drive east of Rotorua. We live largely self-sufficiently, meals are mainly from our extensive food garden and orchards. Most dietary needs can be catered for, if you tell us in advance, we are usually gluten free ourselves. Accommodation: large bedrooms with queen ...

We are a cosmopolitan family (British /Chinese) with two children (both in education in Auckland). We moved to Northland NZ 12 years ago after both working as senior execs in Asia for many years. Our home is a lifestyle block of 32 acres, half of which is protected woodland, (mostly huge Puriri trees up to 600 years old which cast a peaceful spell on everyone who enters). The rest is pasture - we are awaiting our next delivery of 10 steers (which we keep for 12- 18months) plus we keep a few chickens. We live in a historic area of park-like scenery between Kerikeri, Paihia and Kaikohe in Northland. These towns are about 15-20 minutes easy drive away, plus not far away there are many great beaches on either coast. Own transport thus desirable although we can loan a small car for some local driving. Clean driving license essential. We can help with improving English or starting simple Chinese! We need help with gardening - weeding/pruning/moving plants around, planting vegetable...

We are looking for helpers who can help for a minimum of two weeks, ideally three weeks minimum, but helpers who can stay a bit longer, up to six weeks, or similar, are preferred. This really suits helpers who are keen to learn about farming and are interested in that as part of their travels through NZ. We provide you with your own separate, private, peaceful accommodation, with en-suite, washing machine and kitchen with beautiful views of rural land and Tasman Bay. Wi-Fi, power and water included, plus food allowance. Helpers love that it also gives them a break from van-life and they can spread out and relax in their own space and explore locally. At present we are looking at availability from the late October/early November and onward through the summer. You must be physically strong, hard-working, practical and fit, with plenty of stamina - as well as not being afraid of getting your hands dirty. Beautiful hill country sheep and cattle farm, with views of the sea and mountain...

SORRY BUT I AM NOT HOSTING HELPERS AGAIN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2026. I own a 15 acre lifestyle farm overlooking the sea at Kuaotunu on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula. I have 6 Alpacas, 2 cattle, 1 cat and 1 dog. I would like help to care for the gardens, grounds, 2 glamping sites and animals. I offer 3 good meals and morning tea per day, and accommodation in a caravan, in return for 4.5 hours work per day that you are with me. If you wish to work a full day and have a full day off, I will do my best to accommodate that. The property has stunning close views of the sea and islands, a Pa site (a high hill where there was once a fortified Maori village)and is about 10-15 minutes walk down to the beach. Kuaotunu village is very small but is in a beautiful location with a general store and a very cool rustic beach shack style pizza restaurant - Lukes Kitchen - which has excellent wood fired pizzas and other food and often has live music in the summer. There is also a fabulous cafe - Kua Kawh...

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 live on a 5 acre hobby farm in the beautiful Huon Valley, Southern Tasmania. Our family consists of three young adult children (two live at home), two horses, many chickens, ducks, geese, goats and two gorgeous dogs. We grow organic vegetables and breed heritage chickens in an attempt to be more sustainable. Jobs involve general gardening, helping with the animals and housekeeping. If you would like a Tassie small farm experience message us with some details of the work you have previously done. We have separate accommodation, with a bathroom. All our HelpXers have loved working and living with us and I hope you will too (please remember Tassie is a cold place in winter). There are many areas of natural beauty in Southern Tasmania which are all fairly close to us. For example, the Hartz mountains, Hastings Caves and the Tahune Airwalk. We live close to a sleepy village called Cygnet and Hobart is only a 40min drive away. (Unfortunately we can't approve 2nd year visas)

Hello there, I am 40 years old and I have studied chiropractic in Wales for 4 years, I speak English, French and Italian, two years ago I got back in Sicily and I came into possession of this amazing place. The property is based in Sicily, on a promontory that faces the sea. It is an historical family house with an amazing view and a almost a tropical micro-climate. It is also possible to reach the beach by the stairs. In the first year I have used to work alone to renovate the place, and making a permaculture "EDEN" garden in a piece of family land close to home, until I discovered Helpx with which I speeded up and brought to completion several projects. We have built many, MANY synergic gardens, a green house for the winter,planted several new tropical fruit trees (mango, avocado, melarosa....) and perennials. I can accommodate 4 people in 2 apartments, that have a kitchen and bathroom facilities, I don't need help in working for the whole week, weekends are free for who will c...

Based in the spot chosen by the original settling family in the area, we have a really well established garden that needs taming and some quirky buildings that need some TLC. Looking for hardy gardeners, handy DIYers and folks who are keen to just generally get stuck in. We have a great retro caravan, sleep out, outdoor kitchen and bathroom set up that's screaming out for someone, two friends or a couple to bring it to life. At this stage we a only provide breakfast, but could do lunch in some situations. We have heaps of freezer space and suggest you stock up on a few dinners,and drinks in Queenstown before you get here as the local shops are a bit pricey. Spark phone signal is limited to the end of the drive, OneNz works just fine. - free internet available. We recommend helpers have there own wheels, as we're 5km outside of Glenorchy.There is however a bike you can use if ...

Hi everyone! We have a beautiful property a short walk/drive away from a gorgeous New Zealand beach. We live 45 minutes from Hamilton and 20-25 minutes from Raglan. Our area is very remote - we have some neighbours but there are no shops here or public transport, just farmland. So if you enjoy being away from cities and people then this is the place for you! Our property suits people who enjoy the outdoors and surfing, hiking, walking, animals, solitude. There is a beautiful mountain right by our house for hiking, great surfing and fishing in the area, and Raglan (a little over 20 minutes away) which is a vibrant and energetic little beach town with world famous surf. This exchange is for accommodation only. We have a cabin with a big bed and beautiful views of the farmland and mountain and sea. There is a kitchenette for you to keep and cook your own food. The bathroom is about 20 metres away from the cabin and it is a composting toilet with shower that does the job but is gravity-f...

I live with my adult son in a rural area 20 minutes from the Wellington CBD. I have other family members living nearby. A daughter, son in law and two teenage grand-daughters. They live on a lifestyle property and my property is a large section backing onto native bush, in a rural setting. We are used to hosting people because I used to have Japanese students billeted with me a few years ago. There is no bus service where we are but about 8 minutes over the hill is a large suburban area called Karori which does have a bus service and shops, a library, public swimming pool and other amenities. I would be prepared to drop a guest over the hill to the bus if they didn't have their own transport. About 20 minutes by car, from my house, you are in the Wellington CBD with all the amenities the city offers. I am a retired school teacher. I am active in my local community and do voluntary work. One of the things my family are passionate about is the environment and we all belong to a riparian...

Update, possible accommodation available for kiwifruit staff. My caravan is available, not fancy but clean & waterproof. I'm a beekeeper in need of assistance, either with the bees directly or not. I'm located 16km South of Te Puke on a property that has a back boundary of native forest. I'm usually able to host people at any time of year, but am busiest in the spring. I currently have building projects happening, as well as lots of painting, waxing new bee frames, and also hands on beekeeping for anyone who is keen. I also keep sheep and cattle on the property here, and hunt deer and pigs in the forest. These grass and forest fed animals form a large part of the menu here, so vegetarians probably won`t be happy with the diet. I cater to lots of herbivores and they all have hooves or paws. The accommodation is a spare room in the house. The house is a late 1800s villa in need of replacement, but it keeps the weather out and I find it comfortable. Housework isn't high on my priority ...

We welcome helpx helpers at anytime of the year. We are located near Kerikeri, a beautiful quaint town, 10mins drive away, as well as Bay of Islands (Paihia), 30 mins drive away, Lake Manuwai is 13mins drive and we have a river at the bottom of our property for beautiful summer time swims. We have lots of beautiful native bush walks and things to do in the local area. We have a lifestyle block needing help and maintenance. Our exchange is 4 hours of help per day, per person. We provide accommodation, and meals. We ask that you do your first 4 hours helping on the day that you arrive, so that on the day you leave you are able to just clean and vacuum your room, wash the linen and pack up, to move on to your next destination. So we prefer helpers to arrive here early, ideally before midday. We usually accommodate guests for 2-4 days at a time but can extend that in the right circumstances. We welcome guests any time of the year. We are currently looking for people with some experi...

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. One of the best things here is the variety of tasks you can do as a volunteer, which gives you the opportunity to learn new skills and discover what you enjoy doing most. We have a combination of short-term and long-term volunteers and on average we have between 10 to 20 volunteers and resident...

WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOME HELP ON THE ALLOTMENT FOR A WEEK IN OCTOBER 2026 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 ...
