We are open to volunteers from March through to November. We are WWOOF hosts and follow following the guidelines and principles of the WWOOF network. There is always a variety of land work to be getting on with and we offer accommodation with plenty of good food in exchange. During the year we also try and find time to focus on particular tasks that involve skills and experiences that volunteers can learn from. These volunteer weeks for 2024 are listed below, if you would like to join us during any of these periods just following the volunteer booking form link.
