We've had lots, mostly through WWOOF PT. We're booked up til later in the summer. Folks come and help on the land, natural building, animal care, general living stuff and we always have LOADS of fun!

Hello! We've had many volunteers, mostly through the WWOOF scheme. Currently we're not open for this but it might change after June... Do you know someone interested?
