Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Learn the basics of horticulture and some food preserving in season, i.e. Autumn ("Fall" for our US friends). Discover traditional Irish music, informal lessons in guitar & penny whistle ("Irish flute" in some languages). Ceili dancing in summer. I make sure to show you round the area, visit beaches & beauty spots, etc., go to the pub for trad. sessions (when possible) and generally enjoy life !
Ajuda
Main focus in the summer is on cultivation, harvesting & preserving veg. & fruit, for both summer & winter crops. In addition to the organic crops, I collect seaweed* for nutrition & fertiliser and make salt from seawater. Firewood is collected in summer months. I am also interested in No-Dig cultivation, making compost, self-sufficiency, collecting herbs and DIY energy projects. Now starting on Syntropic Agroforestry.

Sailors are welcome. I own a small sailing cruiser. Help is needed in preparing it for sea and with sailing locally in Clew Bay.

Musicians are welcome. We play at home and in local pubs (not so much in summer due to schedule clash).

Help in the house is also needed, this can be combined with other tasks.

* Seaweed season is June or July to October and depends on tides and wave conditions.

I was delighted to host Riccardo ! He is very charming and a great conversationalist. He was a great help to me about the house and farm and a skillful cook. I hope he will return when the weather is better. Highly recommended.

I stayed at Colin’s farm for two weeks; it was a nice time. He is an interesting and welcoming person. On the farm, there are a lot of different tasks, and he can teach you many things, especially in farming. I stayed probably not in the best season for that (November), but he always has something to do (e.g., chop the wood, cook). He is also a… read more

My time spent with Alison and Colin was truly wonderful. I enjoyed the various farm routines like feeding the animals and searching for eggs each morning. I spent most of my time there working on various building projects which for me is always fun.

Colin and Alison are great teachers and they love to tell stories about Ireland or curiosity about permaculture.
Their farm is really nice and they tried to stay with us and show us around during their free time so we were able to visit a… read more

I spent more than a month in Alli's and Colin's farm and it was wonderful. I learned a lot and worked very comfortable. I got the opportunity to sail, learn about plants, animals and some building. They are very kind and generous with you. I really appreciate all you did for me. Rob and Caroline were fantastic too. Thanks a million.
