We are an offgrid community/farm on 150 acres with 7 adults and 3 kids looking for help with a wide range of farm projects. We raise a variety of animals including bees, cows, pigs, chickens and a flock of sheep on a nearby island and grow gardens for fresh eating, we also do horse logging in the winter.
