Descripción
Three years ago we bought 33.5 acres of land that was fairly untouched. We have been working hard putting in infrastructure, cleaning up the property and most importantly starting a huge organic garden.
There will be a lot of garden work to do and also continued clean up of the land — gathering sticks, racking leaves etc. We will also have wood to chop for next season.
We are looking for people who love nature and working outdoors.
We are not running any sort of business, we are just a few mindful people doing projects together to try to create a really beautiful space. We do our best to integrate yoga and meditation in everything we do — and if we get the opportunity we also do breathing and meditation together in the evenings with those that are interested.
We also come from a cooking background so the food is always plentiful and delicious — at least that’s what we hear from everyone that has come to work with us :)
Note that we sort of practice intermittent fasting here. We have a good breakfast and a big mid afternoon lunch/dinner. and then we don’t eat again until the next morning.
We are looking for friendly people to help out — either short-term (typically 1 week minimum) or even potentially longer-term. We are happy to share meals together and also work together but we are also very happy for you to be independent. What is most important to us is that you are considerate and mindful with us, the work, and the space we are trying to create and share here. With that said, we are asking that you do not smoke or drink on the property — no judging of course but we are doing our best to work and co-create a mindful healing space.
If this resonates with you, we are looking forward to hearing from you.
Safe journey.
p.s.
In addition to the description below, we are open to finding the right person that has strong gardening and/or building skills — gardening being our main focus at this time. We are also looking for a full-time gardening moving forward. We have a large garden and we are also looking to get into mushroom farming. So if you are someone that loves nature and you have some gardening expertise, then please message us and let’s have a chat.
