The experience

I could use a helping hand with general outdoor tasks like stacking firewood, light gardening 🌱, and small jobs around the property 🌲. Due to a bad back, I can’t do as much as I used to, so your support means a lot 🙏. In return, you’ll enjoy peaceful nature vibes, fresh air, and a warm, grateful welcome ☀️💚. Come be part of a simple, meaningful experience close to the land! 🌻🔥

Rules

📜 House Rules for Volunteers
To keep things running smoothly and respectfully for everyone, we ask that all volunteers follow these simple rules:

Respect the Schedule - Be on time for your shift and communicate if you’re feeling unwell or need a change in the schedule.

Keep Shared Spaces Clean - Tidy up after yourself in the kitchen, bathroom, and common areas.

No Drugs or Excessive Alcohol - Light social drinking is okay, but no drug use or getting drunk on the property.

Quiet Hours - Please keep noise down after 11:00 PM, especially in shared spaces.

Respect Guests and Staff - Be polite, helpful, and professional — you're part of the team and represent our place.

Ask Before Inviting Visitors - Visitors are not allowed to stay overnight without permission.

Take Care of Our Equipment - Treat bikes, kitchen tools, and all facilities with care.

Be Honest and Communicate - If you’re unhappy or something isn’t working for you, please let us know — we’re here to help.

⚠️ Please Note:
If these rules are not respected or if behavior becomes disruptive, we may have to end the volunteer stay early. We truly hope it never comes to that, and we're always open to honest conversations to find a solution first.
