    I would love to host someone that is handy at building. A healthy type person/people. Someone that enjoys organic living. Gardening, Juicing, healthy cooking. (we eat all types of food) Will NOT except heavy drinkers or any drugs!

    I would love help with the food forest, cleaning, building things such as decks, fence work, painting, raking leaves, shoveling horse poo, weeding beds, with us ...,We can teach you to milk a cow or goat:)

    Everyone food preference is different. If I have extra I will alway offer you to eat with us. I do supply you with food for you to cook.
    You can eat our chicken/duck eggs, veggies in the garden mostly lettuce, beets,beens,tomatoes,cucumbers. greens, herbs, also I provide staples such as rices, beans, pasta and bread. I almost always have breakfast for you already cooked.
