Hi. I am Sandra & I have Parkinson's Disease, which is treated naturally with fava beans and homemade tinctures. My husband DB and I live on an almost 5 acre farm, that we are trying to make into permaculture. Some fruit trees have been planted. More trees have been started from seed (varities of apple, cherry, pear and muscadine grapes). Working now at propigating my blueberries and already established plants. Also , have ordered mushrooms and trying to prepare areas for them. Need to make trellis for hardy kiwi. Need help for 4 hours a day Monday thru Friday. Weekends off. Meals provided. I am gluten-free and mostly vegetarian. We do eat venison, eggs, fish and occasionally organic chicken or turkey. Work a way person would have a private bedroom, kitchen, living room, bathroom .( This was made as a handicap apartment for a parent. It has a private entrance also). Laundry room shared with me and DB. Our dream is creating a farm flourishing with organically grown fruits, berries and vegetables. We play music at nursing homes and I use various puppets to play my mandolin to entertain them. Northeast TN is a wonderful place for hiking, kayaking (have 2 kayaks) music venues and contra dancing, also plays...if you like theater. Helper must not use bad language, drinking , or smoking or drugs, no pets. We have 2 outside cats and rabbits .Now have two hens in a chicken tractor. * Would like to host fellow Christians.
