I was considering places to post this unique opportunity, and realized that sometimes apprenticeships are posted here. I have made a WWOOF profile describing the homestead which also has a link to a video of the off-grid setup:

https://wwoofusa.org/user/932422

Mainly I am looking for an enthusiastic person or persons who are interested in learning how to build a house and set up a homestead, which is taking place this year. There is a tiny house for them to live in. All genders/ages welcome. All food provided for. The house design is being done together with a member of Whole Trees Madison, and the design is similar to this house https://wholetrees.com/portfolio-item/albertson-residence/
Whole (round pole) timber framing, earthen floor, bermed.

Would like input and participation from someone interested in permaculture.  Lots more going on at the homestead, get in touch.

Hi Courtney, I'm a PDC graduate, and also have much experience working on organic farms (including formal training). I'm looking for a homestead to work/live on, this Summer-Fall (May-October 2020). If you'd like to discuss further, please email me: madmaa17 at gmail dot com. The photo of the house you linked to, is beautiful! I'm much more of a farmer/gardener than a house-builder, but I do plan to build a single-level tiny house at some point, have helped pour a house foundation, helped at a few straw bale construction & plastering projects, and learned to frame walls & nail up sheetrock while volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. Passive solar, photovoltaic design & installation and other alternative energy / sustainable construction/rehab modalities are big interests of mine, with much more to learn! - Marie

My name is Henry I am 32, graduated college in civil then electronics engineering. I am 6’4” 200lbs and not afraid to lift 200lbs on my shoulders. I have tremendous perseverance and attention to detail when doing things I love, perma-farming being one, as it keeps me close to God. I am religious and live almost a Monastic life, outside a monastery. Pretty boring one may think, but God is my fuel and I can be out there working that field alone, I don’t care, I do it alone, just God and I! I love helping and this is great for me, and great for you because I truly know what I can offer to another human, and it’s a lot, much more than you expect, possibly mind blowing! I will make anyone’s life easier for sure, and not because I would try, but just because it’s who I am, I enjoy transforming with my hands, making things from bad to good again, to make someone worthless valuable, I rather dress up an old puppy pretty again then to breed another one.
