Moving to Chambana Illinois - looking for an unconventional living situation

I'm moving to the Champaign-Urbana Illinois area to start a farm job. The job will last from April to October. It won't pay very much and doesn't include on farm housing, so I was hoping to find a living situation somewhere in the area where I could work trade in order to park a camper on someone's farm. I would be happy to work on the property a few hours a week helping with permaculture projects or anything else that needs done. If this interests you or you know someone who could use a little help on their property and would be open to this arrangement, please reach out!

I'm on the other side of the state from you, so just bumping your post and wishing you the best in your search.

Hannah,

Champaign-Urbana used to have something of a housing shortage and some pretty high rents.  I grew up not terribly far from Champaign & I used to work there (briefly). Perhaps you could find something in an outlying communities?  Mahomet is not far away.

I wish you luck,

Eric
