Who we are: Who we are: Two 55 year old professional people (female retired), who are looking for a responsible hard-working individual (or couple) to assist with the daily chores, gardening, and permaculture planning of a an acre of urban land in Southern Colorado (Canon City). The last few years we have been experimenting with permaculture projects, but would like someone who has experience working with permaculture design. We also need assistance with expanding existing permaculture plots and someone to help design new projects. If you have an artistic flare and like to spend time doing manual labor, this is the project for you.
What we have
1 acre of land (1/2 acre of irrigated growing space)
Numerous chickens
Rabbits
Turkeys
One dog, one cat
Large garden area
Small fruit orchard (two cherry trees, one apple)
Plum, apple, peach, apricot trees scattered throughout the yard
Slightly bermed backyard swales to catch water from roof and plumbed irrigation from irrigation ditch that are mounded to grow vegetables
Lots of herbs throughout the entire parcel from which tinctures are made
Solar panels on large garage out back
What we need/want:
A plant person(s) w/ some permaculture experience who can design and assist with existing projects and develop new projects
Someone(s) who can develop and maintain and irrigate the garden, orchard, and take care of the animals
Realistically, there is about 3-4 hours of work a day.
You may have the opportunity to find other part-time employment locally
What we offer:
A nice stand alone travel trailer with full kitchen for 6 months lodging. May not be suitable for winter conditions
No meals provided; you cook your own meals
All the garden goodies and rabbit meat you can eat
A monthly stipend is negotiable
The $$ to make the initial improvements and to buy seed, trees, tools, and other necessities
Free wifi, water, and electricity
Bicycles for short trips into town
Networking opportunities with local food co-op members
Good references upon departure
Already established projects to learn and help maintain:
Rabbit raising and butchering and tanning hides
Chicken raising and butchering (gathering eggs)
Turkey raising and butchering
Wine making
Herbal growing, energetics, and medicinal preparations
Harvest, canning, freezing, drying, and fermenting food
Cannabis growing & processing
Maintaining irrigation system
Seed saving
Perennial / annual plants to maintain in garden
Projected projects to help start:
Composting bin
New permaculture areas (possible keyhole design)
Solar food dryer
When:
April 15th, 2015 or as soon as we find the right fit
The local area:
We can show you what the area offers especially biking, hiking, meditation, social events, and farmers market, etc.
Couple or singles will be considered; you just need to have the
energy and ambition for hard work.
Let's have a conversation!!
