Burtown House We are presently not excepting inquires for wwoffers until Dec 10. Burtown house is a 1720's listed Georgian villa, in county kildare. The extensive gardens set over 10 acres, surrounded by mature parkland and a working farm of 180 acres, also have a walled kitchen that supplies much of the food needs throughout the year. This has been in production for a very long time. The garden is organic and has been extended and developed by Lesly Fennell and Wendy Walsh. Son of Lesley, James and his wife Jo take an active part in the gardens at Burtown House. There are numerous groups that visit during the summer months. There are various expansions presently taking place, such as clearing and planting a woodland garden, cleaning and maintaining a large stream, building slip gates etc. During 2010 we will be doing a lot of work in the walled garden, relaying the paths, renovating green houses, as well as the usual germinating, sowing and maintenance of organic vegetables and fruit trees. There is also a large orchard. Woofers would be expected to help with anything from clearing, digging, planting, harvesting, painting, wood chopping and general maintenance. |

Moyleabbey Organic Farm We are a family run organic vegetable and fruit farm managed by Liam Ryan and Yuki Kobayashi. We started working the 13.5 acre farm in August 2003 and achieved certified organic status in August 2006. We grow a wide range of vegetable crops as well as strawberries, raspberries and apple trees. We sell the vast majority of our produce direct; on Fridays from our own farm, on Saturdays at Carlow Farmers' Market and on Sundays at Athy Farmers' Market. We also supply local restaurants and buy and sell with other organic growers in our area. We are very interested in a Macrobiotic way of life and Yuki cooks predominantly in a macrobiotic way and practices acupuncture. We are also interested in Bio-Dynamic Farming and how this goes together with a macrobiotic approach to growing and living. There is a wide range of work for volunteers to immerse themselves in and we are busy all year round. Accommodation is provided in a self-contained mobile home, with own cooking facilities etc., which gives WWOOFers the opportunity to cook on their own sometimes if they wish as well as having shared meals. Minimum stay is one month. |

Plunketstown Hello, we are Natacha and Tim and we have two small children and have finally gotten organised with our garden. Our aim is to provide as much to eat for ourselves as we can. We are learning all the time and hope to share that with potential WWOOFers. We have a tunnel, a separate vegetable plot and are planning another plot for crop rotation and planning to extend our small fruit plot. We would like help with planting, weeding, preparing the soil, planning the crop layouts, storing and processing the end results. We have a small (tiny) wooded area which we maintain to let it grow to its best so that needs help. Thank you for looking! |
