We just bought 30 acres in the Palouse hills of eastern Washington State where we are turning old wheat land into a permaculture paradise. This is a big task and we need help with it. We currently own and operate a family farm where we offer a CSA delivery program in the surrounding communities. We plan to install swales, ponds, natural buildings, and
greenhouses.

We are so blessed to be stewards of this land and hope to find others that feel the same way about the land the steward. We take pride in what we do and how we do it and hope to attract others with the same drive.

What we have to offer is an off-grid place to park your RV, camper, tiny home, tent, or whatever else you have to stay in. You will have access to a composting toilet, Outdoor Shower (once we build it), water (limited), electricity (limited), and community.  This area has tons of lakes, hiking, and birdwatching. We are an hour away from Spokane and Pullman Washington.

What we are looking for is someone that is motivated to create value in their community. Someone with skillsets in construction, food production, mechanics, survival, and many others. The right fit will be someone that is laid back and easy to get along with but knows how to kick it into gear when needed. We hope to find people that want to eventually purchase and stay forever if it all works out. Hopefully, someone that is an entrepreneur that can bring more business to open up opportunities to the surrounding communities.

In exchange for the place to stay, we are looking for 10 hours of work a week on the land or farm whatever is needed that week. We will in the future be hiring so it could turn into a job in the near future which then would provide an income.

Here is a few pics of the land

Here is the nursery greenhouse we just put up. It made from all repourpused materials and built by one person. It will house our plant starts so we can get a jump on the season. It's a 10ft by 16ft greenhouse.
Next step is building shelves.

Hi Phillip...

Just checking in here.  I'm curious if everything is relatively the same set up as a year ago - from the original post? Seems like a great project you have going on.

I just posted in the 'jobs wanted' forum, in case you want to know more about myself:

All the best,
