dog food advisor


it's only got 265 residents... and as much coastline as you could possiblywant. there happens to be a volcano too, but thelast major eruption was five decades ago. and it certainly helps if you enjoy your owncompany, as tristan da cunha is situated midway between south africa and south america. so, if you know something about tending livestockand crop rotation, the islanders are hoping this could be the place for you. they are seeking a farmer who can help themincrease their food production and to make them less reliant on imports - its 7 dayson a fishing boat to the nearest mainland.


however the work could be challenging saysone agricultural adviser who did the job a few years ago. there's about 1500 acres of grassland on whichthey run cattle and sheep. and they also have a small area where they grow potatoes. butthat's the sum total of the agriculture. this is the loneliest human colony on earth. tristan da cunha, a british overseas territory,hit the headlines in the early 60s when a volcano forced its inhabitants to be evacuated. first to south africa 1500 miles away andthen onto england - when they returned not all of them seemed happy to be back on themost remote inhabited island on earth...


islander basil lavarello shared his feelingsin 1965. if there were a boat now to return peopleto england, i'd say three quarters of the community would return back there to england. would you be one of them? i would be one of them. basil's first cousin once removed is stillon the island, and he maintains it's the dream place to live and work. it's very pristine,. i should say, and there'sno crime and i think anyone who comes here for a short term contract, they just enjoyit so much that they always say they would


like to come back. so now, a rare chance to find out for yourself- the salary is undisclosed, but there is a pub for after work, and of course all theview you could ever need.
