  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  This is a great place to be connected to nature and part of a working homestead and also have time for your own pursuits. We have murals in the kitchen and bathroom and on a 15' tiny house trailer. I teach biological farming, animal husbandry, gardening, dowsing, food preservation a few times a year. I love to pass on skills I've learned, even if it's knife-sharpening or how to find square making a raised bed for planting, which I consider basic life skills. I also have extensive knowledge of weed identification and benefits, homeopathy, herbs for tinctures, infusions and teas, etc. Different types of composting, seed-starting, planting, weeding, watering, harvesting, seed-saving, pruning and thinning orchard ... the list goes on but you get the idea, summed up in one word: homesteading.

  Ayuda

  We are looking for someone to help with the farm and animals, help plant, water, and harvest food grown here, help finish building projects, and help organize the two-story carriage house. There will be various canning or food dehydration projects and seed-saving based on the time of year. We ocassionally use a refractometer to test nutrient density of food and use minerals and nutritional sprays to grow extraordinary food. Winter entails organizing, firewood, tool-sharpening, winter hoop house watering greens, feed and hay to animals and occasional mucking barn and coop that can be worked on in small sections at a time. We also have an outdoor wood-fired pizza oven for someone inspired to make dough and pizza. There are a lot of various art supplies for the budding/seasoned artist to use in their free time. I also have many musical instruments: guitars, ukelele, mandolin, flutes, clarinet, etc. for the musically inclined.

  Alojamiento

  We have a 26' airstream near the silo perfect for a couple or two friends that want to travel and work/learn together and live partly off the grid with composting toilet and rocket stove. We have a 15' cedar-lined trailer with twin bed, wood stove and dinette and composting toilet for a single person. In winter months we may have a bed on the heated front porch with three walls of windows overlooking the gardens.

  Algo más...

  The Paulinskill River is less than a mile away and White Lake is 1.5 miles away you can walk or ride a bike to, or if in the evening I can drive you to a shop if you don't have a car. There are many hiking trails. A bus leaves Newton to NYC which is only 12 miles away I can drop you for a day in New York. We have netflix but not cable. Lots of books to borrow and read.
