I have been remiss in answering emails but am currently watching carefully, I will try to answer right away! I participate in local farmers market as well as some bnb and a lot of animal foster/sanctuary. I’m on 5 acres on the slope between the Salish sea and the Olympic mountain range, with Shetland sheep, Nigerian dwarf dairy goats, poultry, a horse, a couple llamas, many doggos, a few arm cats and 4 rabbits. The wild birds who nest and hatch here bats, frogs, eagles, etc keep everything exciting and beautiful but especially in the spring!
I can use some help in the home with cooking, cleaning, laundry, and keeping rooms organized so we have time for all the amazing craft projects like soap making, spinning wool, cheese making, food preserving and fermenting. I would love to find a work away person who wants to experience the farm, animals, and Olympic peninsula, who would love to help keep the house happy by digging in to the domestic arts. I would like to confirm that my workawayer will be helping in our home and the care of rescued animals, snd will not be assisting with farmers market produce or other income generating activities, such as short term rentals on or off my home property, unless we were to discuss a type of paid help separate from this room/board exchange..Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

This is a model homestead where most food we eat is produced right here, and then some, so we are part of the larger community of a rural peninsula working toward local sustainability. I strive to practice permaculture, no-till, organic farming and humane care of animals, who we value as friends.

Looking for help with farm animal care and housekeeping. There are 8 dogs, most of them small seniors , a couple giants. it’s a 4400 square foot house, and I need help vacuuming daily. Diet leans toward vegan/vegetarian/pescatarian . I have a flock of sheep and you are welcome to explore wool spinning, felting, knitting, soap making, with the materials I have. If you’re interested in gardening, I have a greenhouse and full farm garden with bigger crops for strawberries, elderberries, garlic and flowers this year.

My main language is English! Not sure I made that clear in the language choices 😬. I am 44% fluent in Spanish and would love to build on that by hosting a native Spanish speaker! And I speak a tiny bit of German, I have a grandson in Stuttgardt, I would love to practice my. German too.Alojamiento
You will likely have your own small bedroom facing the pastures. There is also a large semi private space that can be shared. This will depend partly on the season and your length of stay. This is a sprawling house with several bathrooms, 6 bedrooms, and about 2500 square feet just of decks. I host a couple rooms via bnb and that can be busy in the summer months. If such guests are present, you must clean up/pick up after yourself. Otherwise it can be more relaxed, but keeping tidy seems to help community living work.

The farm is on the edge of the Olympic national forest and park, just 10 minutes from the ferry to Victoria BC, there are endless hiking and biking trails, lakes and kayaking on the strait. The town is also 10 minutes with stores, restaurants and everything else. You don’t have to have a car to get around but it’s about a 45 minute walk downtown. I have excellent WiFi in the house. There is also a 70 acre woods snd stream next to our property that you can explore snd rest in anytime. I do have strict rules about leaving community areas clean and uncluttered unless a community project causes the mess. Also quiet hours after 10/before 8. This is a good environment for those who want to be part of a community household, sharing meals and chores, and feeling the benefit of considering the comfort and care of others — animal, plant and human.

One well behaved adult dog, neutered/spayed and flea free, is welcome. No cats, sorry. I can’t keep them safe, too many dogs in the house and coyotes in the woods, and the barn cats aren’t accepting barn mates at this time.
