My name is Rebecca and my soon-to-be husband Thomas and I are looking for live-in work opportunities starting at the end of August/beginning of September. I am 24, Thomas is 27 years old and we both graduated from Western Washington University in the last 2 years. We have (industrial) growing, business management, community building/leadership and event planning experience. Our future plans include building a tiny house on wheels, getting our own land, and creating a biodynamic/off-the-grid farm of our own BUT we still have a lot to learn. Do you have a spot open for us OR do you know of any other farms/communities in Western Washington or Oregon that might be a good fit?
We are interested in learning about fermentation, composting, mushrooms, beekeeping, seed saving, earthen building, wild foods, herbalism and natural medicine, green energy (off-the-grid living), water collection and filtration, carpentry, food preservation, community building, and a lot more!
We have a farm. Goats, sheep, cows, chickens, mini donkeys, turkeys, ducks and soon mini cows. We have a huge veggie garden. We collect wild mushrooms and sometimes grow our own. We tap maple trees in the winter and make our own maple syrup . We are on 85 acres. We have apple trees as well as other fruit trees. We do cider. We are going to start doing hazel nuts.
We are looking for a young couple that work hard and want to learn about farm life. We make cheese out of goat milk and sometimes cow milk.
I would like to chat with you two if you are interested. Thanks. Jeff and Jan Jeffemsfire24@yahoo.com
