Some farm placements will include live in for the days you are carrying out work experience but, others may be close enough for you to travel to. We try to meet the needs of the farmer and trainee so each situation will be different.
It will be important that you are available for hours that work with the practices on the farm. You can go home at weekends or evening, still play sport although there may be some extra busy times on farm when you may have to help out a bit longer.
