Help wanted in the Oregon High Desert

Seeking Interns for Rewarding High Desert Homestead Experience.
Are you passionate about regenerative agriculture and eager to learn hands-on in a unique environment? My wife and I invite you to join us for a transformative internship/work stay this spring on our high desert homestead.

Our Homestead:
* Located near the stunning Alvord Desert, offering breathtaking views and a sense of vastness.
* 160 acres of sagebrush rangeland, carefully managed and fenced for the past 25 years, promoting natural restoration.
* Blessed with an artesian well for irrigation and a shallow water table, remnants of the Alvord's ancient lake past.
* Excellent 3-5° slope for earthworks

Our Successes:
* Thriving native plantings.
* Effective composting systems.
* Water-harvesting swales for maximum snow and rain capture.
* Flourishing tree plantings with careful mulching.

The Internship Experience:
* Contribute to daily homestead chores, animal care, and ongoing earthwork projects.
* Immerse yourself in permaculture practices like gardening, planting, soil building, and compost management.
* Learn and apply desert-specific techniques for water conservation and land restoration.
* Ideal candidates are self-starters with a strong work ethic and willingness to embrace the challenges and rewards of remote, off-grid desert life.

Accommodations:
Currently we welcome interns with their own off-grid living setup (RV, bus, tent) as well as power, Internet and water as needed. In addition you'll enjoy a share of any food grown, an endless amount of knowledge.

The Rewards:
* Gain invaluable experience working in a unique and challenging high desert ecosystem.
* Deepen your understanding of permaculture, arid environments and regenerative techniques.
