We milk 70 cows, and 600 goats and work about 400 acres. Now that I have full time staff doing the majority of the milking and barn work, the work is mostly in the workshop and the fields. We always have an interesting project on the go so I particularly enjoy hosting helpers with engineering or mechanical backgrounds..

Planning to clear some land this summer so someone with heavy equipment experience would be great.

HAPPY end of SUMMER 2026. Autumn is creeping up quickly… Lots to do before the rainy season kick in towards the end of the year… Things have been moving along, slow but meticulously! It feels good to be making progress and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel…on my sailboat. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities; a lot to do, at any skill level. Many projects take only 5-30 minutes to explain and easy for someone new to do the specific project well. Other projects require knowledgeable skills and other projects necessitate someone that has a fair amount of specific experience. Anyone that volunteers on my sailboat can join me sailing once my boat is back in the water later this year or at some other point in the future! I anticipate my boat will be back in the water by late Autumn. If this interest you, or you have questions, contact me through HelpX or call me direct via my mobile phone (also WhatsApp number).

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

My name is Paul. About 17 years ago I had this slightly crazy dream of changing my life from being an office worker to becoming an alpaca farmer in the Swedish countryside. Somehow, 17 years later, here we are :) Norrängens is our 100-acre farm just outside Sala, about an hour from Stockholm. We have around 70 alpacas, plus llamas, peacocks, hens, rabbits, a turkey, my cat Sexy, the kids’ cat Vernon and Malta, our farm dog. I have three children, Liam (22), Dylan (13) and Oscar (10). Liam has grown up and moved away from home. Dylan and Oscar live between me and their mum, although sometimes they seem to spend more time here :) When they’re here they’re part of farm life and help out when they can. This is our home and our little family as well as being a farm. Things are quite different here from a few years ago. We used to run a much bigger and busier tourism operation. These days things are smaller and quieter. The economy has been a bit of a struggle, if I’m honest, and this y...

Hi! We've had a few Helpers (WOOFERS) and have really enjoyed the experience. I believe they have enjoyed their stay too. Our next available slot for Helpers will be mid-late October 2026. Our adult kids have moved out (one into Hamilton, the other over to Sydney), so it's just the two of us in a 5-bedroom house. We live on a rural lifestyle property, which is a 10-15 minute drive outside Hamilton city and a one-hour drive south of Auckland Airport. The property is just under 1 hectare - one-third is grounds and garden, and two-thirds is paddocks. We run 4 alpacas. We also have a cat called Bella and a huski-shepherd cross dog called Kayla that both live in the house so Helpers must be comfortable around cats and dogs. We're looking for guests to help around the house (cleaning, gardening, etc.) and property, which might include feeding and handling the alpacas (under our direction). We would also love it if you would cook an evening meal or two. If the Helpers are comfortable w...

Sawasdee.To all beautiful people in the world, greeting from Thailand, I am Sunee , 69 years old from Thailand and I work as a member of an English support group in Phichit province ,after I had retired from a government position. My group aims to help develop the foreign languages (mainly English and Chinese) in schools so we need volunteers to work with us. In these schools, we provide the opportunity for the students in the remote areas to study and can communicate in English and other languages. At the moment we also provide Chinese language in schools because of the need from the parents so not only English teachers we do need Chinese teachers. And in some schools, we put more English and Chinese lessons for the students. That is the reason why we do need teachers to help teaching English and other languages (Chinese Vietnamese Japanese etc.)to our students. Our schools are in the villages far from the towns that is why there is no chance for the students to practice speaking Engl...

Hi you young and beautiful travelers, Bundaberg is a less known touristic town, with a mild climate, beautiful beaches and wonderful surroundings. It is also an agricultural country town with many backpackers hostels . With a bit of lack there might be opportunities for paid work on a farm. It’s only 350km north of Brisbane and easily reachable by train. My home is only a few minutes drive from the town center, yet secluded and peaceful, sitting on 2.5 acres. I am looking for people who would like to visit this promising coastal town and help with general house and backyard maintenance, around 4 -5 hours a day, 6 days a week. The person helping me will have a home away from home and a cosy room to rest in. I am hoping he/she will treat the place with respect and consideration, observing the few requirements related to the use of bathroom and kitchen. Otherwise, regretfully, we will have to part ways sooner then expected. A good home cooked meal and an occasional glass of wine is...

We love working together to serve good, wholesome food in a warm, encouraging environment — a haven from the storms of life.

The farmers market is a grand place to go and feel out the vibe and we can tell you where to view the little blue penguins free of charge. Oh so cute! We are passionate about growing and processing our own food, we love bugs and bees and all our animals and our wonderful community. Soil health and biodiversity are key players for us. We love hearing new ideas and sharing our successes...and failures :) We are a NZ/German family of five (kids aged 10, 13 and 14) who love to travel and love meeting travellers from all over the world. We used to live on a sailing boat when the kids were smaller and sailed to many tropical islands, exploring reefs, tribal life and off grid living.

We live on a 5-hectare avocado orchard in the beautiful Bay of Plenty, 5 minutes from Waihi Beach. We are looking for couples or two friends who have their own transport, interested in short stays in return for 3 hours of work per day or equivalent, helping garden, cleaning, painting, and/or working on the orchard. We appreciate people helping with dishes, etc., after meals. Wendy works Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. During those days, you will be left to work by yourself. We are a Christian household.
