Searching for WOOFING opportunities but cannot locate any that would allow our family. We are a "Large" family with multiple small-ish children. We would love to help with cob or natural building projects (we dream of one day buying property and building a cob and/or strawbale home), gardening, helping with farm animals, etc etc. I (Mom-Kaleena) don't mind getting dirty or digging in to help with any project. My husband is a bit more of a private loner but also doesn't mind pitching in when needed. Our oldest child (teen boy) could be a great help. We are eclectic homeschoolers/ Semi-Unschoolers and could stay long or short term. Open to any and all possibilities.

greetings, family of eight !
i research into farms to connect with them for organic farm products. i know of a few that host woofers,
"the more the merrier" in their eyes. they're more in the stream of social focus, music evenings,
some handicapped, most just bruised souls looking for healing...
let me know if you are still looking.... truly, kevin

Hi Kevin, I noticed you've posted in a few community threads about the communities you're familiar with.

For those who are interested but not comfortable emailing you, can you answer these questions:

Are these various communities you've mentioned associated with each other?

If not, how do you find out about them, and/or how are you associated?

What are the rules to live there? How are those rules enforced or changed?

What does leadership look like?

How do members support themselves and/or the group? How does the community sustain itself?

greetings miss or mrs. draven,
appreciate your caring thoughtful questions.

yes these communities inter-relate, like gears on a clock,
lots of families with children to care for, so no drinking/drugs as a result while staying with us.
busy like bees in a beehive ---  teaching skills and trades, farm meetings together,
monthly festivals, passing on trades, build houses, etc,
go to markets to sell farm products from each other... help each other make it.

we gather in our homes each night to music, and then we sit in circles and share hearts.
for more info, and locations across, someone can send me a moose-age or email
then i will give contact info of a location (west, east, south, north middle)
so they can talk with them personally --- woman to woman, or whatever is best.
sincerely, kevin

I didn't receive your moosage. Please post the info here anyway so anyone interested after reading it can followup with you.
