Would you like an ocasional break from city life? Do you desperately need a change of routine, some physical excercise or a breath of fresh air? Perhaps you would like to learn how to grow or you enjoy the excitement of a pre-dawn harvest by torchlight and the buzz and banter at a farmers' market. Farm experience is the solution!

Successful erection of a rabbit fence in the heat of summer 2006: Martyn (left) enjoyed the break from his desk job.   Ikuyo travelled down from London for a day, sometimes two days, to feel the soil in her hands and fresh air on her face.
July Farmers Market (click for full sized image) We can offer you work for a day or two, for a week or two, or longer. Who knows, if you enjoy working with us as a volunteer you may even end up becoming a partner and sharing in the risks and rewards as well as pursuing your own dreams.

In our organisation we value honesty, enthusiasm and hard work. Experience is not a requirement.

For volunteers we can offer you vegetables to take home, healthy meals cooked in our kitchen, help to learn English or Japanese if required, and first class accommodation in a room of your own.

Please email info@namayasai.co.uk and tell us what you would like to do. 		November market (click for full sized image)
