  Descripción

  Our family of three artists live a few blocks from the cafes, shops and pubs of hip West Asheville. We have a 1/2 acre solar powered urban homestead with an orchard, chickens, veggie gardens, and art spaces. We are transplants from the Northeast by way of California. Been in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains for 14 years and are very involved in local politics and culture. We are new to Workaway but have a couple of years of Airbnb hosting experience, as well as being users of Couchsurfing and Hip Camp. We want to create the conditions for more mutual aid in the world.
  
  We have lots of projects that need extra hands, including building fences and a shed, weeding (endless), mulching, and rebuilding an old travel trailer. We are involved in many community projects: building parade puppets, the local Fringe Festival, and gleaning local farmers' bounty for mutual aid. We have a cheery guest room that sleeps 2 (full size bed) with a shared bath. Close to transit. Our street is quiet and suitable for van/RV guests as well.

Please no smoking on the property. You must clean up after yourself in the shared areas. We have wifi but it's not super fast. Street parking only.
