We are a part of NEWWOOF so that we can learn skills that will help us one day start our own farm, and permaculture gardens. We are very passionate about living low impact lives, and doing anything we can to help reverse the damage humanity has caused the planet. I (DJ) am a capable handyman, I spent 3 years as a property manager, as well as 5 years working as a full time automation engineer. Kathy, a teacher of 10 years, is a great outdoor worker, and eager to learn all she can about gardening, and permaculture. She is also not afraid of getting dirty or painting. We had our first garden last year, and are looking forward to learning more about working land, and raising a garden that produces!

Previously we volunteered at a tree house hostel in Nicaragua, making terraced garden beds, leveling a steep hill to make a platform, and constructing a clay pizza oven all from scratch.
We also volunteered on a small farm in Costa Rica tending to chickens, turkeys, goats, and a small garden. Here we began the construction of a cob chicken coop, as well as many other small farm projects.
We have volunteered at 7 places in New Zealand, and have gained an unbelievable amount of farming, gardening, and general life experience there as well!
