Hi Jesse & Carol-Anne,
I don't know if you've found what you're looking for but if you're willing to go a bit East we may have a great opportunity for you. We're in Rice WA, about 50-60 mi from the BC border and about 5-6 hours from Seattle. We have 45 acres. We currently operate a fairly large CSA - 65 shares last season and shooting for 100 in 2015. 22 acres are being planned for a permaculture project while the other 22 acres includes are current market garden and livestock rotation, as well as hay pasture. We have dairy goats, chickens, yaks, cats, a dog, and 4 kids. My husband (Andrew) and I (Kristine) are in our early 30's. We just moved out here from our more urban location in Coeur d'Alene ID last February. We have a great thing going on out here but we need knowledgeable help. Ideally 2 people, 1 who can work with my husband on the garden stuff and another who can help me with animals and food preservation. Everyone works on harvest days! In addition to the CSA we'd also like to add another farmers market to the mix next season (we took the last season off of markets). We working on setting up a Grade A Dairy (CHEESE!!!) as well as planting an orchard and more berries. Really there's so much work to do.
For compensation, to the right couple (and we will be VERY particular as we are hoping for a long term living situation), we have a home site (w/ water and electricity) where we can easily put a pre-fab'd tiny home. All the food a small army can eat and a salary dependent on a number of things. We are flexible on the time spent on farm. Ideally someone would live out here year round, but 1/2 year would be ok too. Get in touch if you want hear more!
Sincerely,
Kristine
