Introduction
Describe your property and the projects you need help with. The character limit helps it to fit on mobile devices and the printed book.   /2000
Our farm is in a remote and magical area of the Marlborough Sounds. We have about 19 cattle, 16 hens, our dog Trixie, our cat Elmo,  2 friendly pet sheep. There are always interesting things that need attending to in our vegetable garden. We have areas of flower garden and regenerating native bush. Plenty of variety on the projects. We have good beaches and nice walks. Around a weeks stay works best for us. Own transport is best or there is a mail/passenger service from Rai Valley Village. Check this if you need transport. https://cairnhill.nz/read-this.shtml

General Information
You can add extended general information about your property
We grow most of our own vegetables - in summer anyway! We make compost and use animal manures. 

With winter also comes a great progressive project to plant and regenerate areas with hundreds of native trees. Creating windbreaks, animal shelter, and natural bird habitat. Come and join in on a creative and rewarding project.

We depend entirely on natural energy. Solar and wind. A new experience for many wwoofers and volunteers. Our pure and crystal clear water bubbles up from a ground spring with enough to supply a village. This dependence on nature on a daily basis brings a reminder that any resource can be measured and has its own various limitations.

Some are brave enough to have a winter swim, others (like us) prefer the swimming in summer.
