WWOOF for a Month in Santa Cruz, California

I’m looking for people who’d like to learn and practice permaculture / homestead skills and spend 1 month or several on our 6 acre Central California property, not far from the beach. I’ve a cob oven, hugelkulters, no till/dig gardens, diverse livestock, year-round creek, orchard, compost systems, etc. The garden area is fenced, composted, and mulched. I’m developing the site as well as improving it to offer ecotourism, self-sufficiency, and permaculture education.

I’d like work trade help. I’ve taken and hosted PDCs, as well as practiced permaculture for 15 years. I’m putting that knowledge to use and would love to share this sandbox with others; learning, laughing, putting effort in as we enhance this little slice of heaven. I have GREAT Wwoof reviews that I can share if needed. :)

I am a mom, wife, and 50 years old! I have been hosting folks from all over the world for the past 15 years.

Private amenities include:
Furnished Room
Kitchenette
Hot Shower (outdoor)
Composting Toilet
Sink

Shared amenities include:
Food
Gym
Workshop
Sauna
Pool
Creek
Firepit
Cob Oven
Electricity, Fast Wifi, Water

If you are interested, please tell me about yourself and the reason for your interest. We've hosted people for reasons that vary from, “You’re close to a great surfing spot!” or “I’ve always dreamed of being a homesteader!” We’ve had all levels and all reasons. Multiple opportunities exist for great people.

Thanks,
Jennifer Collins

Hi,    I’m a longtime SC resident. Landscaper, Arborist, Artist. I’m very interested in Permiculture, and  seasonal preparations are you involved with this time of year. My rental agreement is ending, I need a place before 12/15. I work part time at Bronze Works bronze foundry, am readying for new phase of work with light construction, and always trying to fit in smaller landscaping and tree work jobs. I want yo be part of something like what you have started longterm, but short term may be good to be in the right place at the right time. Let’s talk soon.

Hello there!

I’m Dani and I currently live in San Francisco. I’ve been dreaming of living and working on a farm for years now and I want to finally make it happen. I do have a cat, her name is prüne. We are a packaged deal but I think she’d love the outdoor access. I think Santa Cruz is beautiful! I am new to the Bay Area and just hope to explore more and more as I spend time here. I hope we can connect soon and chat more.

Hey there!

I’m a santa cruz resident, in between housing and life and currently living/traveling out of my minivan.
I am seeking roots, something to tend to and having a homebase to practice/write music. I am passionate about earthen skills and love to paint, build, garden, etc…
I would sing to your plants and forest!
I graduated UCSC with a BA in agroecology, and have worked at CASFS, blossoms biodynamic farm, Do Right Flower Farm, and many other community/home gardens.
I would love to join your homestead for the winter!
