500 acres of grazing, arable and woodland in West Aberdeenshire. We run a small herd of Aberdeen Angus and Highland cattle, a small flock of Welsh Badgerface sheep and a small herd of Mangalitza pigs. We also run two farmstay cottages on the property and will be venturing into glamping at some point in the near future. There is always masses to do on the farm, in the woods and in the gardens of the various houses on the property and whatever volunteer interest or expertise is brought, there will be something interesting and satisfying to participate in and either learn from or be able to pass skills on. Castleton of Asloun is a 400 year old house with the ruins of Asloun Castle in the gardens. Asloun is situated in the heart of Aberdeenshire castle country.

We are looking for general assistance on the farm, particularly feeding animals, general livestock husbandry and maintenance tasks including fencing, cutting and splitting wood. We are also on the lookout for anyone with construction, carpentry and related skills as there are a number of projects on the go, including but not limited to completing a glamping trailer, various buildings requiring repair etc.
