We are on an 70 acre farm in North Pope County, Illinois and are virtually surrounded by the Shawnee National Forest. Having been on this farm for 13 years, we are still developing infrastructure and are continuing to plant in the orchard and various berries as well as establishing and expanding garden and crop areas. We are a GMO, herbicide and pesticide free farm in all of our outdoor areas. As we are far away from "modern agricultural" property, we feel that we should have no problems with cross pollination of our crops with GMO's or damage/exposure from/to ag chemicals. There are many projects currently in process or in the planning stages. This summer/fall we hope to get new water and electric lines ran to all the barns and the greenhouse as well as get a fiber studio framed in and get the finishing touches on the greenhouses. Tasks on the farm are endless, so there are always things to do year round. Clearing brush, cutting wood, building fence, baling hay, sawing lumber, ...

Small farm with. orchards, chickens ducks. Need helpers to assist with common garden tasks as owners getting older. Delicious meals could be available, otherwise stay in private self contained cabin with cooking facilities. Possible painting jobs also. Would expect 4 hours a day at least for full board, but could work 3 full days and have 4 days off. Lovely area with close access to coast, Maleny, Beerwah with rail links also close by. The last picture is of our tiny house recently refurbed. STOP press we make lovely gourmet healthy food but really need to know your dietary requirement before it's agreed you come. My husband is mostly vegetarian (eats fish) gluten free and I am diabetic and have a low carb diet. This means that people who come and then reveal they are fodmap or don't eat fish or dairy make our lives pretty tricky. We do have a self catering cabin but you would have to shop and do your own thing.

Purpose – to steward land and livestock responsibly while sharing practical skills, meaningful work, and the rhythm of authentic Texas ranch life. ⸻ 🌿 About Me Howdy — I’m Adele, and I run a 25-acre working ranch in Central Texas, just across the road from the Colorado River. The land is gently rolling and hilly with dry creeks, pasture, and a pond. After retiring from public service (public safety and U.S. Marine Corps) I chose a life centered around land stewardship, livestock, and building with my hands. Last year I spent two months volunteering on farms in Scotland, Ireland, Italy, and France. I wanted to understand the volunteer experience firsthand — what feels fair, what feels supportive, and what makes the exchange meaningful. I worked hard, observed carefully, and now aim to offer that same level of clarity and respect here. I manage: • 36 Nigerian Dwarf goats • 35 chickens (hens and roosters) • 9 ducks • 2 cows with calves • 4 working ranch dogs • 2 barn cats A...

Hi there, We're looking for some help with our household over the next few months. We have availability from next week, 31st August, onwards. We have a busy period with work and training, so we'd love to have someone stay with us and assist with walking our dog once or twice a day, some light gardening and painting projects, and occasionally being an extra responsible pair of hands around the house with the kids when needed. This could suit someone who is already working part time in Auckland or looking for work, but the help that we need is in the morning so would need to fit in with this. Ideally, we'd love someone to stay for a few weeks or longer. We live in the Morningside/Kingsland area, which is very central and has great shopping, cafes, pubs and bars. We're just a few minutes' walk from the train station and local bus routes. The bedroom is downstairs from our main living area and has its own ensuite and small kitchenette. The kitchenette has no cooking facilities, only ...

Please note : We are booked out until mid/end October. apart from a gap from mid to end of September. Please read our profile before you write to us!!! Hello lovely helpers, welcome to "Breakfast at Tiffany's" which refers to a movie from 1961. It's also the title of a song from 1993. Before we introduce ourselves I would like to let you know that we are not worried about your skills, we don't expect any experts, but someone who genuinely loves plants and to help. We prefer if you can cook and bake bread. For us, communication is the most important thing and best is someone who has a sense of humor and fits into our sociable family. If you are a recluse (or even very introvert) and rather hide in your room or look at your phone or can't commit to help due to your circumstances, please don't apply. We like playing (modern/strategic) board games, card games and often play Codenames, Concept, Cascadia, Azul, Forest Shuffle, Earth, Tsuro and Bananagrams, many games can be played even...

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. Bush regeneration is another activity as well as assisting in ecological surveys of local rivers when t...

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

Welcome to our slice of paradise near Milnthorpe Park in Golden Bay! We’re Gerard and Patricia (seasoned hosts in our mid-50s), along with Yogi the cat, friendly chooks, a rooster, and two ducks. We’d love to share our peaceful, nature-filled home with you if you appreciate organic gardens, simple living, and stunning sunsets. Our large property is less than 5 minutes drive from Collingwood and Milnthorpe beach/park, 20 minutes to Takaka, half an hour to the beginning of the Heaphy Track and 50 minutes to the Abel Tasman Park. we look out towards north-west and have the most amazing sunsets! See for yourself. The property is not certified organic but we adhere to organic principles. There's a lot happening on our land, vegetables gardens, a berry cage, a wonderful glasshouse and a countless trees of various species, both for food and for firewood. The buildings are “light earth” in construction (straw/clay) and all water on the property is gravity rain fed. The glasshouse has solar...

Kia ora koutou, we live in a three bedroom villa in Invercargill with my sixteen year old daughter, one eyed cat, two adopted stray cats. We enjoy conversations, and I can teach you some dance, qi gong, meditation, and yoga if you are interested. I enjoy meeting people from other cultures and are interested in helpxers for various DIY tasks for my older villa but am open to other creative ideas. At the moment during winter I would like someone to share their culture and cooking with my daughter and a little help with gardening - you don't need any specific skills. I prefer to have someone that would adapt to our routine. Our household is mostly vegetarian. We live close to the estuary and can occasionally watch the aurora from there. I have an interest in ecology, a masters in psychology, have traveled broadly. We have a queen bed available. I look forward to meeting and sharing a slice of life with you :)
