Program Details
Please be prepared to do 15 to 20 hours weekly per person in gardening, farm keeping, animal care and other chores such as painting, mulching, etc. in terms of animal care, I have three pets, two cats and one dog, which I may occasionally ask you to feed or play with. There are also sheep on the farm which I may request you to feed. I’ll give you the tools you need, but you are responsible for honestly saying whether you are skilled and capable to do the tasks. I’m not expecting unusual or overly dangerous work to be done, but please note that you are staying at my place at your own risk, I accept no liability for injuries or loss or damage to property.
Activities & Shift
The work hours are flexible and may change on a day to day basis, but you have two days off every week. There are many beauty spots nearby, the famous Slieve league cliffs are only 15 minutes by car away from my place, and there is a stunning coast line with Fintragh beach, Silver strand and the villages of Kilcar, Teelin, Carrick and Glen Clom Cille nearby. Kilcar and Carrick have authentic Irish pubs with live music, I’m happy to show you around! I have one bicycle available for use, but in there is also a bike rental with many kinds of bikes including e bikes in the close by village of Carrick.
