Gorgeous mountain organic farm get-away in Floyd Virginia, USA

  Beschreibung

  Gorgeous farm/homestead in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains on 36 acres, mostly wooded, with trails, surrounded by hundreds of acres of woods. We have a big organic farm garden, orchards, and chickens -- not for public sale, home and guest/workaway consumption.
  I am a mom of two teenage girls, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and chickens (our horses are no longer here). We live on the top of a small mountain in Floyd County, Virginia. The nature and landscape here are stunning. We have a large 100+ year old farmhouse, and a separate cabin at the back end of the property in the woods. We have creeks, natural mountain springs, and a big pond for swimming.
  I have traveled to over 40 countries, living in a few. I speak French (not fluently) and some Russian. I work in the nonprofit world in sustainable/regenerative agriculture and am a certified holistic health coach. I specialize in the nexus of food/nutrition/health, especially autoimmune diseases.
  We are seeking help with the gardening: prepping garden beds, planting, weeding/putting down hay, outdoor work: weed-whacking, clearing established trails, farm maintenance, and other upkeep needs.
  My girls are very busy with school and sports. There will be a lot of alone time, so a good fit is someone who is independent!
  Workawayers with carpentry skills would be GREAT!

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Floyd County Virginia is a unique community, holistic, organic, full of artists, musicians, a quaint mountain town, beautiful farms, landscapes, gorgeous mountains, and an amazing community. There is wonderful live music in our small town throughout the summer and year! There are music festivals, and the farm is surrounded by gorgeous nature and wildlife. It is such a peaceful, beautiful place! We have two horses, who also can be ridden, but only by experienced riders. However, everybody can love on them, and walk them to other fields to graze. It is heaven on Earth here!

  Unterkunft

  We have a loft one room cabin at the back of the property available, it is super cute and rustic, no running water, does have electricity (there are no fees/paying guests).
  Meals are not included, but I am happy to share in our eggs and farm harvests.
  Meals are on your own.
  
  Note: we are a gluten free house due to Celiac. The cabin can have gluten though.

  Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen

  I am happy to have friendly well-behaved pets. I do have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and poultry. The pet must not put my animals or family at danger. (Sadly I have lost several animals to guests dogs killing them.)
