    January 17 thru winter weather. I have openings available with rustic indoor rooms. One of these spaces is a tiny house with a bed and basic cooking space and a woodstove. You would be responsible for keeping your woodstove going. In winter I offer a hot vegan meal in the middle of the day for you to keep warm on your stove , a shower is available but your daily water needs to be carried in. Van space is usually available. You must be prepared to work outdoors. This means you must have some sturdy footwear That can get dirty, a raincoat, gloves and layers for cold weather.The outdoor tasks that you will be working on would be moving and splitting and stacking wood , stacking, re-purposed lumber, and pulling nails to prepare repurposed lumber for use. Cutting brush , garden cleanup, composting. and caring for chickens. Also, another winter task is learning how to prune, berries and fruit trees. Depending on the weather, the end of February to March we have a small, simple, outdoor maple syrup operation. This is something you can learn from step one all the way through finishing off the syrup. Outdoors is a composting toilet. We will be meeting out doors.

    3 seasons. April -November, I have openings for private rooms , a Seasonal Outdoor shower , sinks. Chores for learning new skills are preparing bricks for walkways and the hoop house, splitting wood stacking wood, cutting brush, Building and setting up the hives, chicken care, working in the hoop house, gardening, lawn mowing, preparing areas for camping in the woods, Pulling nails out of repurposed wood that we will be using in the finishing of the walls in buildings. . And the last skill that you could learn is how to prune and mulch the raspberries. I’m sure there is much more but that gives you an inkling of what you could choose for your learning experiences. All useful skills for living a simple life and living sustainably.

    I have Rustic rooms. Even a yurt. Everything else is outdoors. One of spaces has no heat. There are places that have woodstoves, but you need to maintain them and collect wood. In the winter I have a private room with a double bed. The temperature in this room stays around 60°. When it is below freezing there is a sink next to this room but you still need to use the composting toilet in an outdoor building. Also you have to be content with your own company.
    Open for volunteers who can clean their area before they leave.
    The homestead will be our platform for meeting and learning and working. And the pond for swimming. The Food is mostly vegan, plenty of whole grains, pasta, fruits and vegetables, tea, water and eggs and canned foods .You will be making your own meals and occasionally I will have a home-cooked meal to share with you. You may bring any of your favorite foods that you would like to supplement my foods with some of these might be coffee, dairy products, meat. There is a 9 o’clock quiet time and a request to play personal music using earbuds, also no drugs alcohol or smoking.

    My small rural solar homestead is in the beautiful Monadnock region of New Hampshire. I have an extensive garden of herbs, flowers and vegetables, chickens, and a wood lot. You can participate in day to day living of a simple life. I have a list of helping experiences and you can choose what you would like to do, or what you would like to learn. You must be self motivated because you’ll often be helping out on your own. Three hours of help a day will leave plenty of time for your own hobby or adventuring.

    What to bring, your ear plugs and buds if you are sensitive to noise or want to listen to audio , a water bottle, your favorite foods if you can’t live without them, Stout shoes that are good for getting dirty , wet and working in, work gloves and weather appropriate clothing, a head bug net for May and June . It gets cold here at night.
    You Will have to figure out your own transportation. There is no easy public transportation to This part of New Hampshire. I can pick you up in Keene New Hampshire at the bus station.
