Description
I am a 47 years old mother and life with my two kids (5 and 7) a self-catering project.
We have a big vegetable garden, 3 goats with their kid goats, 2 Shetlandponys, 4 ducks, 20 chicken, 10 beecolonys, pasture and forest.
We have small structures and there is a lot of movement and power/flexibility needed.
We work all by hand and by permacultural, biological principles.
We are a private homestead and are only producing for our own consumption. But we give away surpluses for donations.
Our goal is to try to life modest on our farm, midst in a modern world and seek everyday for new possibilities, ideas and answers.
I have an education in permaculture.
We life most of the time outside and use the house in summertime only for sleeping / cooking / eating.
We are christians.

Help
You could help us most by taking care of the garden (mowing, planting, watering, caring, harvesting and preserving,...), there is a lot of flexibility needed because the work changes every day, taking care for the animals (feeding, muck out, pet), play with the kids (they are both very grateful and appreciate attention). I would also be happy for maintenance help around the house.
