Detalhes
Descrição
We have a 22 acre farm in the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. We have a family permaculture homestead with gardens, chickens, bees and goats, as well as a stand of basketry willow that we tend as a willow sanctuary for visitors and a source of willow for our handmade woven green burial caskets. I (Sarah) have lived in several countries and enjoyed time as a WWOOF volunteer in New Zealand and my partner Leo is from Switzerland and has lived in the US for about 6 years.

Ajuda
We are looking for help with all aspects of life on the farm, from vegetable gardening, feeding chickens and collecting eggs, helping with the goats, to clearing trails in the forest. There are also opportunities for farm building projects like fencing and barn repairs, as well as help with a schoolie build, outdoor kitchen and bath house build, and renovation of a camper on the land. We used to run a cut flower farm, and have perennial beds that can be tended and harvested for fun, or for donation to our small community non-profit, and the willow sanctuary has opportunities for tending the willow, working on living structures and establishing memorial gardens.

We love languages and are always interested in learning. In addition to speaking English/French (Leo) and English/Romanian (Sarah) in the past we have taken lessons in Italian, German, Moroccan Arabic, Hungarian and Spanish, and are interested in more!
Acomodação
We have a school bus that has been renovated as a tiny home, complete with small kitchen, composting toilet, heating and air conditioning, and a queen-size bed. Currently guests use the shower in our house, but we soon hope to have a shower in the bus as well as an outdoor bathhouse. We have plenty of space for camping or those who wish to bring their own camper, RV, or bus. We also have a tree house for adventurous sleepers.
Algo mais...
We are about 45 minutes from Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. There is no public transport to the farm, but we do travel to and from Asheville once a week and can provide rides on those trips.
