Description
Organic as possible, Beautiful Columbia Beach property with fruit trees, large garden, rabbits, laying hens, and a free range, fun 13 yr old.
Our homesteading family loves to cook/prepare/ferment and offer free range meats, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free ( we are celiacs) or raw food cuisine. A fun family to share space with :) We also have kayaks, fishing rods and bikes that you can borrow. We ask for 5 hours of work each day with a minimum stay of 6 days.
We are flexible with scheduling so that you have the chance to explore the area. We are a 4 minute walk to the beach and live next a Bald Eagle Reserve and creek.
If you like to work in nature, enjoy a quiet setting and want to connect with like minded folk we are awaiting :)
We prefer and will give priority to couples with cars. We are not always around and do not supervise much.
