Hi there wwoofers  - Welcome to a fun busy family with 4 kids - with our two oldest at university and the 10 and 16yr old still at home, (so the photos on the kids are a bit out of date!). We are on the go doing fun activities on our piece of paradise 5 minutes from Gisborne. We live in our self-built straw bale earth plastered, earth floor home that we are putting finishing touches on. On our organic piece of land we are planting natives, have an orchard, organic market gardens, bee's, chooks, 2 cows, dog and cat.  You might be doing -  building, painting, organic gardening and weeding, firewood, sawmilling, fencing, cleaning and looking after animals. We are currently building a strawbale cabin which we need some help with. For a taste of life with us https://youtu.be/2Ylx2ac-96A
