Milk goats, make cheese, help with gardening and building in isolated New Mexico, USA

Beschreibung

We are an off the grid free range goat dairy in isolated New Mexico. The dairy has been on this plot of land for 38 years! We are working on renovating our cabins, come help us fix them up! We are a 2 hours drive from Pie Town (the closest town to us!) and 4 hours from Albuquerque where pick up can be arranged. Helpers accepted year round; stay at least 3 weeks, long-term help preferred. We milk our grain free goats and make cheese! English spoken, no dogs or cat, children by arrangement. We have animals so they must be taken care of daily and our days can be long. We try to get a one day a week off, more if we have a big enough work force. We live where we have real winter. No drugs or alcohol or tobacco. We have limited wi-fi, only Verizon cell phone service at the dairy on line. We are living with no neighbors and no fences.
Due to Covid-19 we ask for volunteers to be tested (free and accessible in New Mexico) and/or observe a quarantine at the dairy. Start joining in right away just eat seperately.

Arbeit

Come help co-create an off-grid oasis in the rugged, isolated wilds of New Mexico. Milk goats, make cheese, help with the run-off gardens, and participate in building fences. Spend time with the plethora of farm animals: egg laying ducks,free-range goats and their babies, Maremma guard dogs, heritage pigs, chickens, and barn cats. Amazing hiking and views; walk for hours and see no sign of people!

Hiking with the goats is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Since we have no fences, the goats wander and eat the vegetation around the area and are protected by our Maremma Livestock Guardian dogs.
