Description
We've been doing the self-sufficiency thing for 10 years but now need to move away part-time for the kids to attend high-school. I'm looking for someone to help keep our little farm running. I really don't want to see it go backward and become weed infested while we're away. We produce a lot of food and live in an unbelievably beautiful setting. I'm offering a labour in exchange for food and rent sort of deal. My family and I will be back on week-ends and I'll be back some days during the week. The person I'm looking for will know how to do this sort of work, be highly self-motivated. It will suit someone who wants to live a sustainable, natural life surrounded by natural beauty.
