About Lourdes Stieben

"Hardworking couple looking for farm work around Canterbury/Otago area"

Hello, My partner and I are currently looking for farm work opportunities anywhere in Canterbury / Otago. We are interested in any type of farm role, including calving, calf rearing, milking, livestock work, general farm duties, maintenance, fencing, planting, or other hands-on tasks. While we do not have direct farming experience, we are very eager to learn and gain experience in the agricultural industry. We are both physically fit, reliable, hardworking, and comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions. We enjoy practical work, being around animals, and learning new skills. We are not afraid of early starts, long days, or getting our hands dirty. We both hold valid Working Holiday Visas, have driver’s licences, and can drive manual vehicles. We are available to start immediately and are open to both short-term and long-term opportunities. If you think we could be a good fit for your farm, we would love to hear from you. Santiago & Lourdes
