Volunteering Opportunities
< BACK
At Orchard Acre we offer the opportunity to volunteer in exchange for your board and lodgings. We are experienced volunteer hosts, with WWOOF and Help exchange for many years.
Please send us your photos for the volunteer gallery.
Volunteers have come to us from all over the world; we share our life experience with each visitor. We believe volunteering truly brings one closer to a real cultural experience. In return we expect only a positive contribution to our farm and family life.
We want you to enjoy your visit, experience our beautiful county and bring home fond memories. We learn form each volunteer who stays with us and the exchange often leads to lasting friendships.
Orchard Acre Farm has a volunteering policy and code of conduct. To learn more about the spirit of volunteering please visit WWOOF or Help exchange.

The Volunteer Shite Shovellers Union
Fondly established by volunteer Christa from Switzerland, membership of the union is gained by simply being part of the annual process of shovelling horse manure onto the vegetable garden and orchards. This is an important part of nurturing the soil and keeps our farm very productive. We are eternally grateful for every shovel full deposited by volunteers. Check the volunteer photo library for members
We have a limited number of volunteer places each season.
To learn more and make a booking Contact WWOOF or Help exchange.
