Introduction: We practice organic full circle farming, with a variety of animals (Finn and Gotland sheep, chickens, ducks, beef and dairy cows, barn cats, wild birds) and a large horticultural block. We milk our cow daily and make all our own dairy (butter, cheese, quark, yoghurt) as well as run a small commercial horticultural business. Most of our delicious meals are sourced from the farm. We have an outdoor sauna.

Nearby, within an hours drive are the Torlesse mountains, plenty of walks around lakes and the nearby braided rivers. Christchurch airport is 20 minutes away. The ocean and several surf or swim beaches are only 40 minutes away. Ski fields in winter are just over an hour away.
We are looking for someone, who speaks conversational English, to help with the organic farm, dairy and offer any skills you bring to our self-sufficient 5ha block.; Save Exit without saving
