Our Home Gardens

We have a nice home, quiet gardens and many activities in the area if you want to be active. There is a major university at the end of the street. Also, we are surrounded by forests, mountains and peaceful countryside. You can see on this page a short video about our town.

We are a warm and welcoming household, and we love our volunteers. You'll be part of the family. Many of our helpers remain friends for life. We grow fruit and vegetables - including several kinds of melons and there is also some landscaping work to be done. I run a building/real estate business and two non-profit foundations. I am a happily divorced dad. I'm from England originally, but I have been in the US for many years. My son is busy at university so I need some help. It's hard to do everything myself - and it's more fun to have you here! We have two cats, Charlie (14) and Leonardo (2) - who try to help too! Our volunteer program is intended for high school graduates, college and university students who are usually 17-25, but please feel free to email even if you are slightly outside that range.
