I have a wonderful lifestyle block in central Waikato full of productive trees and animals. My focus is on producing healthy, nutrient-dense food in an environmentally sustainable and ethical manner. That may sound like a lot of multi-syllable boxes to tick, but it comes down to common sense and logic and knowing the consequences of your interactions wtih nature. I research, experiment, write about, consult and teach how to live off the land. Hence my orchard contains a huge range of food-producing plants. However, I have learnt to distinguish between edible and tasty and I love it when travellers from other cultures teach me how to use a food in a way previously unknown to me (remember, all of NZ food plants are imports). From guests I expect: Four hours help per day (hours can be flexible), and is varied and interesting, including maintenance of the lifestyle block, caring for the animals, house and garden maintenance. Assistance in preparing and cleaning up the daily main meal. ...

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 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 have a combination of short-term and long-term volunteers and on average we have between 10 to 20 volunteers and resident...

Currently, we have the following vacancies for 2026: Between 9. and 19. November. Anytime from April 2027 (min. 3 days, max 7 days) We live on a 6.5 acre (26,000m^2) property, 2.5km away from Bethells Beach (Te Henga). Most of our property is covered in native Bush, but it also features an Orchard and about 2 acre of paddock and a garden. For our helpers, we have a nearly new, well equipped self contained Tiny Home available in the orchard, 100m away from the main house. As you can see in one of the picture, there is only one queen size bed in the bedroom. Therefore, it would be best suited for a single person, or a couple. We would provide breakfast and dinner for you. Most of your tasks would involve gathering and cutting firewood, weeding, pruning and shredding (winter and early spring). We always have some maintenance around the house and garden to do. You should be over the age of 21, a practical person who enjoys working outside in nature, and you must have your own tr...

Hello and welcome to our profile :). If you are reading this and have not yet read our reviews - please do so. We were very disappointed to receive the latest review which as you can see, is in total contrast to all others received over the past ten or more years. We do hope that you can look beyond this and speak directly with us in advance if there is anything you may be concerned about. We can absolutely guarantee that we are not the kind of people that we have been made out to be, and because of this we have attempted to address all points made although we wish we had not been 'forced' to do so by one person who did not find the experience to her satisfaction. Thank you if you are still reading. We are currently seeking a single person or couple. If you are not available until later, and would like to reserve a place with us please drop us a message and we can chat and try and save your preferred dates. Ideally, a minimum commitment of at least one month is necessary. It tak...

2 Small farms turned into the one near the West Coast of Clare. We keep lots of farm animals like cattle, horses, donkeys and sheep. We produce a wide range of vegetables for ourselves and some for selling. We have two children, went to primary Steiner/ Waldorf school; Frank (25) and Fina(21) and they love having volunteers around the place. Fina is doing equine studies and Frank studies horticulture and loves travelling. We hope you have the ability to adapt to our for most of you different and simple life-style and enjoy farmwork with irregular hours at times, and you will get a true sense of farming life-style! It is important to realise beforehand that you are a volunteer who gets the opportunity to join into our family home/life so please do not compare with a regular paid job.. Most important is that you are happy and enjoy your stay with us... We offer healthy food, wonderful sunsets and rainbows, some Irish traditional music, and the possibility to learn more about old style f...

Weeding and garden work is always a go-to if you are waiting instructions. Helpers will sometimes be left to work by themselves as I don’t always have time to supervise them. Therefore, Helpers who can help with l...

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

We welcome travelers who would like to help out on a small farm near the surf breaks at Ahu Ahu Road. Its a 10 minute walk to the beach, and we have surfboards and bikes to loan. The accommodation is private and self contained, off grid and comfortably sleeps two people. Its best suited for a couple. The toilet is a short drop :) and you can either prepare your own meals or have dinner at the farm.house, which is about 300 m away. The view is beautiful and the location is tranquil. There are some great walks very nearby on the Kaitake mountain or along the coast.

- Space available from now until 24th October - Space available from 17th November onwards. **Please note that we ask that all enquiries include a proposed arrival and departure date, we will also ask to arrange a quick video call to confirm volunteers have sufficient English to communicate with other staff and customers** We are a busy, free-hold pub with brewery and gin distillery in a small village beside the sea in North Devon. We serve real ales, home-made food, and run regular music nights, games night and discussion groups. We are busy with holiday-makers and residents alike, and the pub is an important part of the community here. Depending on the length of stay and time of year, volunteers might find themselves helping with general maintenance, cleaning and organising or assisting in the kitchen- helping service run smoothly during lunchtime and evening sessions.

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.

Are you looking for a fun adventure in Iceland? We have young horses in several training stages, and we need help to further their education and training. We are trainers and horse breeders, and run horse tours for tourists, so we know a lot about training, but we do not have time enough, because we are also running the horse farm, and horse tours for tourists. So you can learn a lot here. You need to: Have no big dietary obstacles (not vegetarian, pescaterian or such). Be a very experienced rider, and have some other useful background with training horses. Food and accommodation provided on the farm without extra charge.

I have a wonderful lifestyle block in central Waikato full of productive trees and animals. My focus is on producing healthy, nutrient-dense food in an environmentally sustainable and ethical manner. That may sound like a lot of multi-syllable boxes to tick, but it comes down to common sense and logic and knowing the consequences of your interactions wtih nature. I research, experiment, write about, consult and teach how to live off the land. Hence my orchard contains a huge range of food-producing plants. However, I have learnt to distinguish between edible and tasty and I love it when travellers from other cultures teach me how to use a food in a way previously unknown to me (remember, all of NZ food plants are imports). From guests I expect: Four hours help per day (hours can be flexible), and is varied and interesting, including maintenance of the lifestyle block, caring for the animals, house and garden maintenance. Assistance in preparing and cleaning up the daily main meal. ...

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 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...

Currently, we have the following vacancies for 2026: Between 9. and 19. November. Anytime from April 2027 (min. 3 days, max 7 days) We live on a 6.5 acre (26,000m^2) property, 2.5km away from Bethells Beach (Te Henga). Most of our property is covered in native Bush, but it also features an Orchard and about 2 acre of paddock and a garden. For our helpers, we have a nearly new, well equipped self contained Tiny Home available in the orchard, 100m away from the main house. As you can see in one of the picture, there is only one queen size bed in the bedroom. Therefore, it would be best suited for a single person, or a couple. We would provide breakfast and dinner for you. Most of your tasks would involve gathering and cutting firewood, weeding, pruning and shredding (winter and early spring). We always have some maintenance around the house and garden to do. You should be over the age of 21, a practical person who enjoys working outside in nature, and you must have your own tr...

Hello and welcome to our profile :). If you are reading this and have not yet read our reviews - please do so. We were very disappointed to receive the latest review which as you can see, is in total contrast to all others received over the past ten or more years. We do hope that you can look beyond this and speak directly with us in advance if there is anything you may be concerned about. We can absolutely guarantee that we are not the kind of people that we have been made out to be, and because of this we have attempted to address all points made although we wish we had not been 'forced' to do so by one person who did not find the experience to her satisfaction. Thank you if you are still reading. We are currently seeking a single person or couple. If you are not available until later, and would like to reserve a place with us please drop us a message and we can chat and try and save your preferred dates. Ideally, a minimum commitment of at least one month is necessary. It tak...

2 Small farms turned into the one near the West Coast of Clare. We keep lots of farm animals like cattle, horses, donkeys and sheep. We produce a wide range of vegetables for ourselves and some for selling. We have two children, went to primary Steiner/ Waldorf school; Frank (25) and Fina(21) and they love having volunteers around the place. Fina is doing equine studies and Frank studies horticulture and loves travelling. We hope you have the ability to adapt to our for most of you different and simple life-style and enjoy farmwork with irregular hours at times, and you will get a true sense of farming life-style! It is important to realise beforehand that you are a volunteer who gets the opportunity to join into our family home/life so please do not compare with a regular paid job.. Most important is that you are happy and enjoy your stay with us... We offer healthy food, wonderful sunsets and rainbows, some Irish traditional music, and the possibility to learn more about old style f...

Hello travellers, and a warm welcome to beautiful Olinda - I am Vita and delighted to host you. **Currently seeking Helper/s who can work in the garden or use a chainsaw to cut fire wood. Or a carpenter who can help repair weather damaged external timber windows. Or someone with mechanical experience to service chainsaw and lawn mowers. Or a Helper with sewing skills and can use a sewing machine. Or a helper who can restore and refinish furniture. I appreciate self-starters and Helpers with initiative, who do not always need to be told what to do and are capable of putting in a full days work. Weeding and garden work is always a go-to if you are waiting instructions. Helpers will sometimes be left to work by themselves as I don’t always have time to supervise 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

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.

Hi everyone, I'm Dominique, I'm happy to welcome you to my village house in Normandy. We are less than 100m away from the sea (but with no sea view) and the local fishing village. In the area of the D Day landings of June 6th 1944. Close to "La Point du Hoc" and Omaha Beach. We have a vegetable garden. Help is needed all year long with all manner of things to be done. We have a garden where we want to grow as many vegetables as we can. I can teach you how to make jam, how to preserve fruit and vegetables. You will share our meals and have your room in the house. I speak French and English. Internet access. Helpers are welcome to maintain the garden and enjoy the local area.

Are you looking for a fun adventure in Iceland? We have young horses in several training stages, and we need help to further their education and training. We are trainers and horse breeders, and run horse tours for tourists, so we know a lot about training, but we do not have time enough, because we are also running the horse farm, and horse tours for tourists. So you can learn a lot here. You need to: Have no big dietary obstacles (not vegetarian, pescaterian or such). Be a very experienced rider, and have some other useful background with training horses. Food and accommodation provided on the farm without extra charge.
