Description
We have a beautiful 30 acre farm (about 23 acres of woods with ATV paths and a creek) and 7 acres that are flat. We have 2 barns with woodworking equipment and a 80 yard soccer field with almost regulation size goals. We are wanting to move toward eco-gardening as we have an orchard and a large garden space with wood chips. The house is only about 20 years old, nicely equipped, picturesque back deck with hammock. We have dirt bikes, a dune buggy, and ATV's. We are looking for an individual or couple who can work 3 to 4 hours per day. Vehicle is onsite for use. Lots of fun to be had along with interacting our large family on occasion as we can make it out (we don't live full-time on the property). My son is a top notch woodworker and is willing to teach. Help build our eco-farm and have a blast while doing it! If during the summer, we have a pool for your use as well.

A vehicle will be available for your use if you can legally drive. Bicycle can be onsite as well. Come see the beautiful state of Kentucky. Use it as your base of operations to travel the states. We are open to longer-term stays. We hope you can become like part of the family. My wife and I traveled Europe after college, and enjoyed our travels so much. We hope we can help someone experience that for themselves here in the great US of A. My wife and I own multiple successful businesses so this could be a springboard for even more opportunity. At a minimum, come help us get our eco-farm started!
