    Descripción

    Our needs for extra help (Workawayers) are in the late Spring and summer months.

    Katharina is a transplant from Germany and came to Vermont via California. Glenn has been in Vermont since the 1970s. Presently, our animals are: dogs Bela & Bernie, cats Tesla & Cosmo and Greta & Hedy, a team of Haflinger horses and four piglets.

    Overlooking the White Mountains in the distance, our place is nestled into the Green Mountains of Vermont, high on a hillside, variously known as Blood Mountain or Michigan Hill. We are three miles outside of the little town of Washington and about 18 miles south of the state capitol, Montpelier.

    Workawayers will stay in a cabin, aka the "Hobbit House,” where we lived for two winters while building our house. It is off the grid and has a terrace with a view, outdoor shower and a sauna. Our house is a barn structure from the 1800s that Glenn and his friends moved and rebuilt. Our land spans about 40 acres, bordering over 2,000 acres of wildlife preserve. We also have a pond that is great for swimming on those hot summer days.

    Our area is off the beaten path, rural and very beautiful. We love to get to know folks from different cultures. We do have a pond to swim in, plenty of trails to hike, and you are welcome to borrow our kayaks.

    We continue to focus on keeping newly cleared areas open for future pastures. Weed whacking will be an essential part of your daily chores. So you should be comfortable using the weed whacker an hour or so each day. Katharina has some veggies and berry plots, as well as perennial flowers and various fruit and nut trees. Glenn may appreciate help with construction projects or caring for the team of horses. Our ideal workawayer likes to cook and help with house cleaning :)

    If you have experience in any of the above, we’d love to have you. While you don't need to be an expert in farming and/or landscaping, it is beneficial if you have some experience. Most important is that you are a DIY type person who is able to do, and not afraid of, physical work. Check out our reviews to get a sense of the work we do.

    We live on a farm and need to care for animals. Workawayers need to be ok with rising early to get chores done and also not shy away from physical work. We are looking for hard-working, responsible self starters who are able to follow directions and complete a task when left alone.

    Alojamiento

    You will be staying in a cabin about 150 ft away from the main house. The cabin has running water, outdoor shower, fridge, two-burner stove, wood heat. No WiFi at the cabin. Arrangements can be made to use WiFi on the porch of the main house.

    Katharina is Vegetarian, but Glenn eats meat sometimes. Depending on individual needs, some meals can be shared, or, if preferred, you can cook your own meals. Alternative arrangements can be made.

    Length of stay: We prefer for people to stay for 3-4 weeks so they can really immerse themselves in the experience and get into the swing of day-to-day living on the farm. But we also look at the first week as a "getting-to-know-each-other" time to determine if this arrangement works for everyone.

    We are a 20-minute drive away from Sage Mountain, a well-known herbal retreat center established by Rosemary Gladstar. Montpelier, about 35 minutes away, offers an eclectic farmer’s market every weekend during the summer months. Montreal is three hours away as is Boston. There are all kinds of festivals throughout summer, something for every taste, and lots of hiking trails and swimming holes. This is a area rural. There is NO public transportation. To explore the area you will need to have your own transportation.
