Due to my employer having to cut expenses, I am seeking a new caretaking position.
Currently I am employed as a caretaker / farm manager on a 22
acre organic farm. I care for dairy goats, chickens, ducks, horses,
rabbits, greenhouses, raised beds and orchards. I grew up on a
cattle and sheep ranch in Northern Nevada and have extensive
experience with large and small livestock and various types of farm and heavy equipment. I prefer to find something long term as opposed to seasonal. I've been at my current location and employment for 5 years and I don't really like to move around much.
Housing is not needed as I have an self-contained 33 ft. motorhome. Electric and
water would
be nice though. Would like someplace I could be able to garden and raise my chickens and ducks. I have one small dog Sam, (10 lbs.) who is good with animals, doesn't bark unless visitors arrive and is exceptionally well-mannered. I am quiet, prefer to stay home and spend most of my
free time either working on various projects,
gardening or reading and listening to music.
I would prefer to find something on the Oregon Coast, central or southern preferred but will consider anywhere in Southeast or Southwest Oregon and Northwest Nevada, but will consider any decent offer. Lots of skills to improve your property. I am a hard worker, and need little to no supervision.
I have my own side business designing, developing and hosting web sites as an alternate income source. I also like to build small animal housing and
solar projects which I also
sell.
Skills:
Heavy and light equipment operation and maintenance,
fence building, animal husbandry, small and large animals, veterinary skills, organic
gardening,
greenhouse building, carpentry, electrician, plumbing, painting, mechanical skills, crop and garden irrigation and more. I can pretty much fix about anything that is repairable.
Experience:
Worked on cattle ranches in NW Nevada for 20 years, in gold mines running heavy equipment and then 20 years in information technology field, no drugs, light drinker and can pass background check and drug test.
Also I have a female friend in a similar situation, that the
land she caretakes has sold recently. I suppose if you needed or wanted more than one person we could work as a package.
I am basically interested in something located in the Central or Southern Oregon Coast, but will consider any offer.
