    I’m not a huge fan of a long workday myself. I’ll provide tasks for a half days work. 4/5 hours - longer if your looking for that. I’ve been a manager of construction projects my entire life and business start ups - I know what I’m doing and you’ll be part of developing a very cool entity!
    Aside from the building of the seasonal small structures - there is also garden work and hospitality work as it will be a a rental on going in the farm house. There is also social media development and presence work

    Accommodation

    Housing is provided in the farmhouse ,it’s a nice house .. daily meals are included - but I’m a believer in unpackaged foods. We cook stuff that isn’t in a box or can or bag and it’s shared and available at any time. I also have a large barn and seasonal housing - which we will be building…. I have a fire out by the pond very often with couch and chairs.
