We are a small urban homestead located in Eugene, Oregon, looking for interns/wwoofers interested in learning how to grow and make herbal products. Community interns work 10 hours a week and live elsewhere, live-in interns work 25 hours a week and it includes room and board. Biking distance to downtown, and on a bus route, has all the benefits of living in a city, with the green and quiet of the country. Eugene is a fantastic city with a thriving organic and progressive culture. We grow herbs both culinary and medicinal, have a big vegetable garden, make herbal products that we sell at farmers markets and local festivals. We have certified kitchen on-site, and sell one of our products in local natural food stores.
Into permaculture, biodynamic methods, currently have chickens, bees, will be getting rabbits this year. In addition to gardening & making herbal products, food preservation activities such as canning, dehydrating, making Kombucha, Junn, and other fermented foods. We eat meat, mostly local & organic. Meals are based around what is seasonal and is overall pretty healthy.
We value communication, authenticity, spirituality without dogma, personal space, freedom, work, play, laughter, music, learning, and growing.
