Description
We are a homesteading family looking for people to help get our property to where we want it to be. Everything we do on our farm is organic and we are very community based.
We have lived in Costa Rica for many years and speak Spanish, and now we are in NY where I was raised. We are located 10 minutes from the trendy Saratoga Springs downtown where you will find dining, a nightlife and the Saratoga Springs state Park featuring mineral springs.
We are about 45 minutes from lake George and the beautiful Adirondacks. Lots of history, nature and culture in the area.
(We have reviews on our other profile from Costa Rica if anyone is wanting to see them).

Learn how to farm or homestead. I am happy to teach canning techniques if it is the season for that. We want to share our way of life with people and the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.

Help
We have lots of projects on our list, many are just general clean up or organization and some are more construction based. We also need garden help, painting, and would love to have some mural projects done. We do run children's programs on the farm but are NOT requesting any help with that.

Accommodation
We are thinking of living this summer in glamping tents, in which case work awayers would occupy our house. There would be community spaces in the house and each worker or couple having their own room.
If the tents don't work for us you would then be in the glamping tents :)
We will provide the basic staples for food as well as fresh organic eggs and veggies from the garden. You would be responsible for any specialty items.
