About

We have an old farmhouse with a large garden ,and walled vegetable garden with glasshouse We would welcome volunteers to help in garden primarily, and help in house. We are unable to offer work in the commercial part of our business. WORK EXPECTATIONS WILL BE RENEGOTIATED IN A HEATWAVE. Staying with us would allow you to learn about farming, regenerative farming, renewable energy, electronics, food production, cheesemaking. There is a bus service hourly from 7am to 6pm. Town and shops three miles away. Pub in village. You would be able to explore Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, and to enjoy the coastline We can accommodate a campervan or camping if you pefer. The garden and the house are ongoing projects... there is always something to do! I would love to get my garden back under control so that I can enjoy it , and again supply the house with fruit, flowers and vegetables I spent almost two years covering for staff absence, caring for my parents and being "off legs" myself and garden has rewilded itself..... we need to weed out the bindweed , and find the garden amongst the weeds. Ditto the house, I need some support with serious decluttering. And help with cleaning. I do have a regular housekeeper, but sometimes with the children in her life, and the special events in our lives extra hands are VERY welcome . We host educational events for groups some weeks. its a skill that you have then i would love to learn more about marketing and social media as my business took a downturn with my prolonged absence.

Accommodation

Private Room & Shared Bathroom
We have fast fibre broadband to the house which can accommodate a digital Nomad. Stephen and Catherine have their own bathrooms , volunteers would use the guest bathroom but need to share if we had other house guests. There are additional showers and toilets on the farm so there is no need to queue . PLENTY of heat and hot water. For two friends not wishing to share a room we can provide a second room, but the attaic room pictured is accessed through the second room. WE do have space for a camper van

Information

Meals

We have groceries or breakfast and lunch and kitchen(s) space. I posted self-catering, as I may often be absent caring for elderly relatives, and Stephen does not have time to cook for you. Dinner you need to sort for yourselves. If we are at home and cooking we may invite you to join us. We are biased towards plant based foods , we do not eat meat on a daily basis, yet do eat meat and fish and a LOT of cheese. This is a dairy farm with a cheese production facility. We favour wholefoods and try to do the 30 plants a week thing.
