Description
Hi! I’m Clayton - a passionately self-motivated person who values intentional living and hard work. I enjoy natural building, regenerative farming practices, and exploring the wonders of the natural world in my free time. I have a strong desire to learn natural building techniques and would love to share some of the skills I’ve gained. Most recently, I attended a 28 day cob structure workshop in the jungles of Puerto Rico. Additionally, I have experience in carpentry, concrete work, large scale organic farming, permaculture methods, natural horsemanship, land restoration, and a myriad of other skills.

During the summer I help manage a 60 acre vegetable farm on Martha’s Vineyard. During the off-season, I am focused on gaining skills in all aspects of homesteading, agroforestry, farming, and communal living.

I’m easy-going, always ready to jump in and assist with any project, and able to work independently or with a group. I also love to cook!

My goal is to continue living harmoniously with our planet, assisting others who share the same ethos, while simultaneously enriching cultural experiences!

Clayton has been a remarkable gift to our lives, the horses, and all of the animals and plants around our home, ranch, and work. He has a gentle spirit beyond what words can describe and the horses took to him right away which says it all. He has a unique ability to gently handle even our biggest horse with grace and it was a pleasure to watch the… read more

My time with Jaqueline and Cowboy Steve was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had while traveling. They are gracious, patient, and loving souls.

During my stay we mostly cared for the horses: feeding, watering, brushing, and preparing for riding tours. I also had the privilege to help out with some of the rides. There are many projects… read more

I thoroughly enjoyed staying with Roberto and Stephanie! From the moment I arrived I felt like family. Their land is located in a beautiful area, in a fairly remote region of Boriken, Utuado. It has a very peaceful energy and is the perfect place for solace and self reflection.

During my stay we teamed up with the community to fix some potholes… read more

We are so blessed and grateful for Clayton’s visit to our farm. He is extremely hard working, motivated, works well both independently and in a group setting. His presence is always positive and helpful, he is a great cook and was super respectful of our home. We learned a great deal from him and would have him back anytime. Anyone would be lucky… read more

Clayton is a good communicator, respectful, hard working, willing to help out with all kinds of projects, and easy to be around. He also enjoys cooking and experimenting with fermented foods, and he created some… read more

My 6 month stay at finca was beyond anything I could have imagined! The property is nestled on top of a mountain, amongst an abundant forest of trees and banana plants, overlooking a lake and the ocean. Some days it feels as if you are level with the clouds. The sunsets are epic and I thoroughly enjoyed waking up to the sunrises and enjoying… read more
