In their own words; "We live in County Kerry just between Killlarney and Kenmare in a scenic location, with approx 3/4 acre land. We are gardening organically. However we have no organic certificate as we do not produce on a large scale but rather for our own use and simply enjoy having a lovely garden. During the months of May, June, July, August and September we are looking for volunteers. We offer accomodation in newly-built log cabin. Vegetarian catering and friendly athmosphere. General tasks include weeding, veg growing, light maintanance work etc." Contact; woessnerklaus@googlemail.com or phone; 00 353 64 53059.
