Hello All, I am looking for a peaceful, beautiful place among the redwoods in rural Southern Oregon or Northern California to call home, where I can live simply in a sole dwelling space and grow organic food and herbs for medicine. I would love to live and work on a regenerative homestead that is holistically and freedom oriented, that prioritizes a clean, safe, and organized environment, and is cannabis, alcohol, and tobacco free.

Ideally, I would like to offer my skills in exchange for living in a stand alone structure like a tiny house, yurt, or cob house where there is the possibility of long term integration and residency. I am capable, responsible, committed, and I genuinely care about the land on which I live and the plants, animals, and humans with whom I share it. I am experienced with work trade caring for land, gardens, and animals, and I have the desire and ability to learn new skills. I am open to a community where there is a well established system in place, a smaller homestead with a few folks or a family, or a caretaker opportunity for someone who travels and needs hands and eyes on the land while away.

My background is in craft, child care, and postpartum education and support, and my interests are in fiber crafts - sewing and knitting, gardening, holistic medicine, and natural building. I bring an awareness of the overall flow of a homestead, an attention to detail, an ability to vision and generate ideas, and the skills of indoor and outdoor transformation - weed clearing, decluttering, and creating sustainable systems of organization. References available. Please feel free to direct message me to see if we may be a good fit. Cheers!

Hi Susanna, we are just starting to explore this possibility and I saw your post. We are looking for someone who is interested in a rustic bunkhouse or having a parking space for their own self-contained trailer. We are in So Oregon on 40 acres with BLM on 2 sides. There are 4 of us living here, hubby, daughter, granddaughter and me. We have animals and hope to travel, so there's the rub.  
We need someone who is dependable that we can trust to keep the homestead running. We have dogs, cats, deer, goats, rabbits, chickens, occasional bear and cougars. We have a rough garden with PLENTY of space for more and fruit trees. Winter here is mild, but we do get snow for a few days to a week at a time. Haven't had to use chains yet, but it's a possibility. If this sounds like something you may be interested in, please let us know.
Looking forward to talking,
Laurie
