  • Help

    Help

    We would like help with our garden, painting our fence, building projects, and sometimes chickens. Around the house, assisting with meal prep and general house maintenance would be really helpful. We are renovating- adding a bathroom to my Pilates studio, our basement and growing a much larger garden this year. The work is a mixture of indoor and outdoor work and doesn't require specific skills, as you would work alongside us.
