La experiencia

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll join me on my journey for a month or two or long-term.

I have a pair of picturesque, riverfront hobby farms, each with a large 4-bedroom house. I have a small field of wild blueberries, a dozen alpacas, and a small flock of free-range chickens. I'd love some help with the animals and projects around the farm.

It's a very culturally conservative area. Not the best place if you're woke or list your pronouns.

Programa detallado

25 hours a week of volunteering (roughly 5 hours/day for 5 days/week), in return for a room and 3 basic meals. :-)
My diet is high carbs with mostly plant-based protein (occasional meat or fish, though), but I will buy some bananas while you are here. :-) If you need a salad every day or you're a big snacker, you'd best stop in at the grocery store. I'm mostly vegetarian-ish; so, probably not a great fit for obligate carnivores.

Reglas

Absolutely no smoking in or near the houses or any of the buildings.
On your days off, do a very small amount of housework, the way you would in your own home.
If you want to drink alcohol here, please bring your own.
If you have a frequent appetite outside of mealtimes, you should probably bring some snacks to keep in your room.
If you will be here between May 1 and October 31, please bring your own supply of bug repellent. There are a lot of blackflies and mosquitoes during that time.
I have a long list of smaller (but still important) rules. Feel free to request it before arriving.
