Beschreibung
Hello travelers, our names are Brock and Ellie, and we have a daughter born in 2023. We are a passionate homesteader family focused on horticulture. We've dedicated the past 12 years or so of our lives to the study of plant, their propagation, cultivation, ecological functions, and preparation in the kitchen. The homestead is fifteen minutes from downtown Lafayette, is 14 years old, forty acres, with many hundreds of trees planted, a particular diversity of fruit trees, lots of edible perennials, fruiting vines, wild flowers, herbs, large raised garden beds, and much more. Our best attempt at the recreation of the garden of eden. Loving plants and taking care of them is a must here, plants, plants, plants.
We 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! We accept people year round. We particularly like having a crew of people in April-May to prepare for our "Mulberry Day" celebration. Also October-November is particularly bountiful in the garden and fruit harvest. We really enjoy couples, and families since having a child, and we like solo travelers too. We have two buses, two camping platforms, and a trailer for volunteers with bathroom, kitchen, and laundry.
Cheers,
Brock+Ellie

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.
