At about 7:00 into the video below.



I just watched this video, and thought of Bernadette immediately. Gentleman Jack is an excellent show to watch if you’re into history like me.

We are a 20 acre homestead, off grid, seeking ongoing help in exchange for room and board.

We can offer either a private furnished room in the main house with my partner, myself and one cat, or a camp/van/RV spot.

Current projects include: repair/upgrade of yurt, install of outhouse, outdoor shower. Replacement of old cabin roof, install of solar pump for water system.

Ongoing projects include gardening/food preservation, installing food forest guilds, trail maintenance, as well as firewood and blackberry/thistle management, animal care, cleaning, etc.

We are a mainly vegetarian household but not militant if you wanted to cook the occasional piece of meat.

Ideally, meals are shared including cooking and clean up. Though if you are self-sufficient (say, remote working from your van or rv), you are welcome to participate or not. We have high-speed satellite internet and often enjoy movies and game nights together.

We are open to short or long-term stays, depending on how everyone "clicks", and ask for a one week commitment to start.

Be a non-smoker please. Social drinking and occasionally getting high acceptable.

If this sounds like something you'd like to try out, we'd love to hear from you.
