Beschreibung
HI travelers, a bit about us, our names are Brock and Ellie and are both passionate homesteaders. We've dedicated the past 12 years or so of our lives to the study of plants. Their propagation, cultivation, ecological functions, and preparation in the kitchen. The homestead is 12 years old with many hundreds of trees planted, a particular diversity of fruit trees, lots of edible perennials, fruiting vines, wild flowers, herbs, and much more. Basically my best attempt at the recreation of the garden of eden. Loving plants and taking care of them is a must here, of, about, for, cultivation of, study of, plants, plants, plants.

I have hosted volunteers for many years and work traded on many sites around the world. We thoroughly enjoy the comings and goings of jolly travelers which enrich our lives with new ideas, artistic expressions, and shared meals full of vibrant conversation. We look forward to hosting you as a volunteer!

Cheers,
Brock+Ellie

Was ist das?
Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Travelers can learn about plants. I have many years experience working with plants, particularly in the style of permaculture. I have extensive knowledge of local plants, their cultivation and preparation in the kitchen. We also cultivate lots of mushrooms on logs, have many fruit trees, ponds, bees, and enjoy very much many ways of making food come from the earth.
Arbeit
A curiosity for plants is a must. General gardening includes: weeding, watering, harvesting, processing, pruning, etc. Also general community maintenance activities such as cooking, cleaning, organizing, etc.

Vom Host für Workawayer (William & Emily)

I can attest that every positive comment that comes before mine on William's profile is absolutely true. He stayed with us for two weeks and never have I before had a guest who so thoroughly understands the ethos of this work trade program. Simply put, this man is a beautiful and gentle soul with a love for life. Hard worker, self starter,… read more

Where to begin….

Walked in to the farm and immediately met some very nice folk but wasn’t sure how I was gonna tangle myself in with what seemed to be an already well meshed group. In just a short amount of time around Brock, Ellie, sam & Sofie, I found myself getting along with them just fine as all were super kind hearted, conscientious,… read more

Staying with Brock and Ellie was wonderful! They were warm and welcoming and cooked amazing food. The time spent there was educational and interesting. Brock is very knowledgable and can answer probably any question about plants you have! I would definitely recommend a stay here to anyone interested in learning about plants and permaculture!

Vom Host für Workawayer (Sylvia)

Sylvia and Jason stayed on the farm for about three weeks. They were both incredible people to share time with. They are both hard workers and are able to work independently and diligently. But the tasks they performed were secondary to their lovely conversations and presence and outlook on life. If you're considering hosting them, I strongly… read more

Vom Workawayer (Sylvia) für Host

My partner and I stayed on this project for three weeks, and even now (weeks after leaving!) we still feel so ELEVATED by the entire experience. I feel beyond grateful for the events that brought us to this idyllic homestead farm in Louisiana at the most perfect time of year, the midst of bizarre pandemic times. Brock and Ellie are both so easy to… read more

Vom Workawayer (Charles) für Host

My two weeks with Brock was awesome. We went down to fish at the gulf, Inoculated logs with Reishi & Osyter mushrooms, Mulched trees, Planted trees, and interacted with lots of his friends & neighbors. In some cases we harvested food and ate with them. We even went foraging for wild foods/mushrooms!
We didn’t work too hard, but timing was slightly… read more

Vom Workawayer (Barbara) für Host

It was such a nice experience to live with Brock at his home, which was like a jungle due to the variety and number of trees and amazing vegetation. It was not at all a common farm. I would like to recommend that unique space and his host who offered me the best.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Barbara)

Barbara was a wonderful guest! She for stayed nearly two weeks and was very helpful in all areas of the homestead. We worked well together in the gardens, the kitchen, and she took initiative to deep clean some areas which was incredibly helpful. When not working Barbara is lovely to converse with and passionate about her artistic endeavors. If… read more

Vom Workawayer (Maggie & Joshua) für Host

Though we were only with them for a week, Brock and Ellie opened their home to us and cooked great food (a lot of which they grow themselves). The bus in which we stayed was very fun and comfortable!

Brock has a great ultimate vision for the property; he and Ellie both have lots of experience to offer in the work they do and are very excited to… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Maggie & Joshua)

Josh and Maggie stayed with us here in Louisiana for about a week. They were very industrious and accomplished all the tasks I laid before them efficiently. They were pleasant houseguests and very lovely to be around. If you are considering hosting them I recommend them. Thank you Josh and Maggie for a lovely experience.
