Program Details

During your stay, you are welcome to help around the farm with daily tasks such as preparing garden beds, planting, fertilizing, weeding, turning compost, watering, building structures, feeding animals, harvesting, and meal preparation.

We have several exciting large projects underway, such as building a fish pond, a park to play in, and building another garden. We also want to create a daycare for local children, to come play and be taken care of during the day whilst their parents work.

Beyond daily tasks, we aim to keep the project growing with various design, building, and repair ideas. If you have computing skills, we would appreciate help with documents, websites, funding, and social media.
