Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
By saying we are a "community", we do not mean a loose association of individuals in a common geographical location, but rather a large extended family of married couples, single people, and children sharing a common social, spiritual, and economical goal. That goal is to create a life of care and growth for the common good. We live a life dedicated to sustainable practices, primarily of our relationships with one another. For this to be a daily reality, we eat all our meals together, gather morning and evening, with weekend celebrations, sing, dance, and offer a community prayer to the One who makes this life possible. We also teach about our spiritual way of life based on the original teachings of Yahshua the Messiah. We ask that volunteers would attend all gatherings and meals, with a desire to respect and learn from our way of life together.
Help
We have the following activities going on: Greenhouse help, gardening, haying, Animal chores, cleaning, and Building Projects (Roofing Framing, Siding, and all phases of construction).
Volunteer help is based on areas of interest, abilities, our needs and availability. We always have lots going on, so you will never be bored! Activities may vary depending on the time of year.

We don't work on Saturday, but just have a nice time being together, going on farm walks or swimming if you need to cool off. You are more than welcome to stay with us.

They taught me much about harvesting and gardening.
What I think is very special about this place is, how open they welcome visitors and workaway people, the variety of work you (can) do and the Friday night celebration.
I definitely will stay in touch with them ^^
