Que habilidades tienes?
I have experience caring for dogs and cats. I also like riding and have some limited experience with horse care. I would love to learn about and help care for your animals!

I'd also love to learn more (and help with!) day to day tasks on a farm like gardening, fencing, repairs, etc. I'm in good shape and am comfortable with physical labor. I also really would love to learn some woodworking skills if you happen to have a project that requires that and are willing to teach me! I also would be happy to help with cooking. I especially love baking - I have some pictures of baked goods I would be happy to make for you in my photo album. I have experience with both childcare and IT/web development.

When I have free time, you can generally catch me running, reading, baking desserts, or listening to music. I also love to learn new crafts - I picked up knitting during the pandemic, and would love to learn another new skill!

One thing that's brought a lot of joy to my life in the last year is playing and listening to folk music. If you'd like to learn banjo or fiddle, or would like to jam with me (or teach me a new instrument!), I would be very excited!

I can't say enough good things about Lara as a Workaway guest. We really hit the jackpot!. As a recent M.I.T grad with a degree in electrical engineering, she is obviously high on the intelligence quotient, but beyond that Lara in "high" on just about every positive quotient, in our opinion. Laura would "hit the ground running" literally first… read more

Linda and Phil are great hosts and lovely people - would highly recommend staying with them if you have a chance! They also have the sweetest goats and dogs :)

Our daily chores mainly consisted of taking care of the animals, and we also helped out with cooking, mucking the barn, cleaning the rental room, and installing flooring in one of their… read more

This was such a lovely experience! We stayed for three weeks at the farm in March, and during that time we got to know the most amazing goats, dogs, cats, chickens, and people.

This is truly a magical place. All of the human structures - be it the road, the barn, the cabins - all of them were built by the ranch and its workers, and Nancy has a… read more story to tell about each of them. At night, if there are no clouds, stars stretch endlessly across the sky, and each morning a sunrise paints the land. The smell of juniper and piñon trees is always in the air, and when snow comes it blankets the entire area in white, and you become very grateful for the wood stove in your cabin and the snuggly blankets.

But it’s not just the stark beauty of the desert that makes it wonderful - it’s also the people and the animals who inhabit it. Nancy and LeRoi are full of stories and wisdom and are always willing to answer a question, be it about a goat’s pedigree, how to change a truck tire, or how to hitchhike with a goat across California (ask Nancy about the last one). They also have really built a communal, respectful atmosphere - while we were there, there were plenty of other workawayers, and Nancy and LeRoi encouraged all of us to share our stories and areas of expertise not just with them but also with each other. My fellow workawayers taught me things ranging from wood carving to chainsaw maintenance.

The animals are just as incredible - you’ll meet the most charming little goaties, including Kandi (most likely to be secretly plotting world domination), Avalanche (most likely to sneak into the stanchion for extra food), Mountain Dew (most likely to be bullying another goat), and Nairobi (most likely to want pets). The Maremmas and the Pyrenees are the same - you’ll be charmed by Mercury and Mars, moved by Brando’s dedication to the goats, and impressed by Fig Cookie’s leadership. And Groucho and Gladiola are sweethearts who deserve all the pets! (as does Mister, the queen of the cats)

On your off-days, you can hang out with the baby goats, join the goats when they go out to graze, hike in any direction you wish, ride the dirt bike, or spend time in the incredibly well-stocked library.

Really grateful to my fellow workawayers, all the animals, and Nancy and LeRoi for letting us come live with them. Miss you all!
