Thank you for your time. (You can save a lot of time by just emailing me and we can talk on the phone. I prefer real conversations with voices.) I desire to be of service. I have spent many years of my life researching, learning, testing, and doing many skills involved in homesteading or farm work. I have a vast array of skills and knowledge. If I don’t have experience in a skill I learn faster than your average bear and not much I can’t do. Nature is where I thrive and I enjoy equal amounts of alone time and people time. I have a 2 years old very well behaved dog friend that is my co-pilot. He is new to me as I adopted him July 25 of 2016 but our bond feels old. He is very much like my old dog in the way he listens and obeys. He is a flat-coated retriever and is very smart. I m sure I could find ways of “putting him to work”. I have done all kinds of carpentry work from framing to putting on a roof. I have also done some light woodworking such as building tables and desk etc. I have built some bamboo stuctures one being and outhouse I designed myself and an cedar outdoor shower. I have been a massage therapist and yoga teacher for 21+ years but in the last 7 years I have not practiced as much as those earlier years. I have spent the last 7 years practicing gardening, permaculture practices, rainwater harvesting, solar systems, alternative building structures. I also lived in an RV which I find a great way to take notice of your consumption. I eat a plant-based diet and prefer to be around those that are similar in desire to not eat animals. I love animals and can whisper some. I am not interested in participating in raising animals to eat. I will happily take care of your pets though. I also love to cook and feel I am pretty good at it. I worked for Vitamix so I am pretty good with one and can make lots of yummy foods. I can also find my way around technology pretty easily. I have built webpages, I make all my own business cards and logos. I prefer Mac’s but can use a windows too. I am also a good photographer and could help with marketing. I also need a decent internet connection as in my off time I have computer projects that I like to work on. I have also been learning CNC and CAD software.
I am 41 and physically fit. I currently hike a lot and love to be out on new trail…. I also like other outdoor activities if they are available. I would love to be of assistance to someone who is starting an eco-village, food forest, retreat center, alternative building structures and organically minded. It would be nice if there was an opportunity to make a little money every month for my phone, insurance, storage payments. I have my own car. Whether that is onsite or a 30 minute or less drive to a city where I could get a part time job. I have also worked at Farmers Markets and really enjoy that environment. I have so many valuable experiences and skills for farm life just ask me. I will honestly let you know if I would be a good fit for your needs.
I would love to find a place that had an opportunity to spend more than a month even a year. I have good people skills, conflict resolution and general psychology help. I live in a medical marijuana state and do participate. I could keep this out of sight and private but it does help my body/mind so I am not sure that I could give it up for your preference. I live in Arizona at the moment but love to travel so if the opportunity sounds right I willing to relocate.
If any of this seems like I can help email me and lets talk. I find I can share much more in shorter time with a conversation. Thank you for your time.
