This butcher comes fully equipped: An Australian portable abattoir, cold room and all

摘要

This past summer, through an international volunteer program called HelpX, two young people found us on the Internet and came to give us two week's help around the place. In exchange for their working four hours a day, we provided room and board.Rosie and Chris came from Australia and Ontario respectively. They have been together several years, having met while volunteering in Scotland. Rosie's family has a dairy farm milking more than 200 Jerseys in dry south Australia. They milk but once a day, the pastures incapable of inducing a greater flow. Chris is from a house building and renovation contractor family in Ontario. The two of them came with a wonderful assortment of skills, from carpentry to animal husbandry, and a matching admirable work ethic. Lucky us.
