Hello Potential Volunteers My name is Paul and it was my dream to change my lifestyle from being an office worker to becoming an alpaca farmer.... here we are 14 years later with 100 alpacas, each individually cherishes with names and unique personalities, plus an assortment of other animals all needing our love :) I have three children: Liam (21), Dylan (9) and Oscar (6), and our 100-acre farm is home to approx.100 alpacas, plus llamas, peacocks, hens, mini pigs, a cat named Sexy, and our farm dog Malta. This year we are expecting 20 'cria' (baby alpacas) and each one will need our help so they can thrive! We need to ensure they get colostrum (filled with antibodies and vital for good health) – have they fed from their mums within the first 24hrs? Are they then drinking enough milk from their mums every day? Are they gaining weight? The well-being of my animals is the most important thing on the farm. Do they have good food and enough water, and the best possible natural environme...

Or maybe you'd be more interested in learning new languages, discussing philosophy and making art in a fervently mystical corner of the world. As Henry Miller put it, the Valley of Dordogne : "this great peaceful regionof France will always be a sacred spot for man and that when the cities have killed off the poets this will be the refuge and cradle of the poets to come." If any of those things pique your interest, this might be the place for you. We have tons of ideas on how to improve our homestead as well as manifest durable sustainable and autonomous solutions for food production and human development in general. Some of our projects include inv...

I am a retired teacher in my eighties, living in a 230-year-old house set in parkland about 80 km SW of Dublin, between Portarlington and Tullamore, central Ireland. The house is spacious (especially the ground floor), with several bedrooms and extensive living space, including a reading room with abundant books, a log fire (and two cats). The 18th century kitchen is kept well-heated by a modern wood-pellet stove. I’m seeking companions who will appreciate the house in its peaceful rural surrounds, especially those keen on fruit and vegetable gardening, reading, and taking care of my beloved trees. I am more frail than I was, and although I generally get around fine with the help of a walking stick or walker, it is best if someone is available to help in case of need. A companion will be asked to do light housekeeping, shopping and cooking vegetarian meals, maintain the log-burning stoves, chop firewood and take materials to the recycling and disposal centre. I can make my car a...

This beautiful, 2.5 hectare garden, set in the heart of Haute-Normandie Pays de Caux near the English Channel and whose light inspired the Impressionist movement, which can be loosely translated as an Arthouse garden. This is not a run of the mill HelpX destination. There is a real opportunity to learn and have a totally unique experience while staying in the 17th century Priory in the centre of the garden. Cécile, the gardening artist or artistic gardener (she conforms to both), welcomes you to join her in this artistic gardening adventure. Previous experience of gardening and some basic French are welcome but not essential as Cecile can get by in English, Spanish and German and will teach you all you need to know; the work, of course, changes with the seasons and can be a variety of brute force and delicate sensitivity but never forgetting that this is an artistic adventure and is open to the public. Help Xers are invited to food and accommodation in return for an average of 5/6 ho...

Hi, my name is Marianne. I live on a classic New Zealand "tree quarter acre section" on a north facing (all day sun) hobbit hill, looking down to Oamaru. If you arrive early enough at my kitchen window or even up on the jungle hill behind the cottage, you can see the sea and watch the sunrise. A 10 minute stroll down Eden Street gets you either to the CBD or to the shoreline. I am providing three basic meals per day as well as a comfortable and quiet room for your stay and to relax after our daily four hours of working together "out there", somewhere on some befitting project. Currently the main focus is on landscaping, forging a pathway up the hill via carving out soil on one side and adding to the other side, creating little embankment walls in the process. Most of these embankments will be made from recycled Oamaru natural stone, a few with recycled glass bottles. Our white Oamaru sandstone has attracted various sculptors to our town, because it is soft enough to be cut and carved...

WHY CHOOSE? HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS STAYING HERE! * Live on a small cattle farm surrounded by pristine beaches and national parks * Enjoy the good life with the right balance between work and fun * Swirl around chilling kangaroos while driving the tractor in the paddocks ...Yeah, I know you are already hooked but let me give you more details below! Join me at the farm where 21 happy cows and calf, 6 chickens live in peace and tranquility, just 9km away from picturesque Agnes Water and the town of 1770. This area, off the usual tourist path, is packed with natural gems. Having lived here for over 30 years I know all the best spots and I am keen to share them with you. It`s also the perfect place to learn how to surf with the cheapest surf schools in Australia and a number of different beaches!... I have just recently joined the HelpX community but have hosted over 200 guests with other organizations during the past 4years (and they all made it out alive!). Young at hea...

We are a working farm and holiday park above Monkstone beach and within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. There is a small young team here full time. We are looking for one or two people to help on the farm and park. You will be required to do a variety of jobs including working with the team, helping with farm work especially lambing, helping with feeding animals, gardening, cleaning and D.I.Y. Overall you need to be enthusiastic, motivated and use your initiative. We will provide everything so you will be happy and can enjoy your time here. Its a great place!!! Visiting Pembrokeshire and in particular staying here would suit people who enjoy the outdoors, nature, hiking, water sports etc. There is so much to do in the surrounding area.

Hello - we are an animal-centric home on a small farmlet close to the township of Lithgow. We have a queen size bedroom available with own entry. We are walking distance to town. We have large dogs, so you will need to be confident around animals. We also breed miniature goats and have a garden and lots of chooks. Our property is located on an historic coal mine site and has many ruins to explore. We have resident native animals including kangaroos, bird life, wombats, possums and reptiles. We are looking for someone who is kind and curious about permaculture, gardening and animals. We are learning about regenerative practices and are trying to live gently. The property takes much of our time and there are always multiple projects on the go, with a view to sustainability and working with our environment. We are building food gardens, goat fencing including portable electric fences so we can have the goats graze on the weeds, we are also planning to restore our 1940’s train carriage in...

Bonjour à tous ! Nous sommes éleveur de chevaux arabes, arabe-barbes et anglo-arabes et nous avons une trentaine de chevaux en moyenne, dont des retraités, des poulains, des adultes qui sont montés ainsi que des pensionnaires. Nos autres animaux sont 2 chiens, un malinois guide de chevaux, et une micro beagle réformée des laboratoires, et des poules qui vivent en liberté. Il est donc primordial d'aimer aussi les chiens, car les deux là sont très invasifs pour avoir des câlins... Notre discipline sportive est l'endurance, et il nous arrive encore parfois de faire des compétitions plus ou moins longues, de 20 à 120 km. Évidemment le cheval est notre passion, et nous aimons partager avec tous ceux qui ont la même passion que nous. Et sinon, je parle anglais mais vraiment pas super bien, et Marcel pas du tout. Alors pour vivre de bons moments conviviaux et un beau séjour, il faut parler correctement le français pour saisir la subtilité des conversations et des blagues. Et aussi Marce...
