Our vision is build a syntropic, permaculture, sustainable property that can support community. Grow food, integrating animals to support the systems and live off grid.
It is a peaceful out of the way property 20 minutes from the nearest town in a gorgeous valley surrounded by an abundance of trees and nature.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We enjoy sharing our life and home with our guest, shared meals and conversation. Sharing our skills and knowledge about living off grid and setting up sustainable systems for the land and food. Learning about people and their passions in life.
Help
We are looking for help on our off grid property with nursery and propogation systems, food forests, and sustainable agriculture. Some tasks would be propagating seeds, cuttings, help in the nursery, shade house, seed saving, mulching, building projects.
Helping bottle our honey as well as everyday requirements such as helping gather wood and meal preparation. We also run bee hives and a queen breeding program, selecting genetics for varroa resistance.
Depending on tasks we will help together and autonomously. Work is varied depending on the season and what needs doing at the time.
