  Description

  Hello again! We are just restarting the farm after a sabbatical and are ready to get into some action again! This next chapter is focused on restarting the poultry operations and the apiary and a few other initiatives around the farm. And we need some marketing and videography skills.
  
  We're working on some cool farm projects around building up farm tours, workshop, merchandise and most importantly farmers market development. So a major part of this farm experience is office work: marketing campaigns, farmers market development, developing sales strategies, etc.
  
  Videographers preferred as we are needing contributions towards our farm documentary project.
  
  Farm is very remote but is truly a hidden oasis if you're looking to be part of a farm team that's growing and doing more community outreach.
  
  Having your own transportation is vital for getting around and for getting to the nearest market store.
  
  Plus, the farm is very closely tied to a local coffee shop and we're working hard to bridge together working on both as possibly a shared workaway experience with the farm.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Helpers will learn about tropical organic farming, homesteading skills, fishing skills, tropical foraging skills, composting, taking care of chickens, beekeeping, farmers market experience and foundational organic farming techniques in hillside farming while also experiencing the local island culture and enjoying the beautiful scenery of our islands.
  
  But the main focus is in the marketing of food, of a farm. so we'll have great sales and marketing campaigns and projects we'll be working on, including contributing to the ongoing farm documentary.

  Aide

  Marketing help needed for growing farm markets to grow more food. The Mandahl spot is where we have new and old rock terraces of my great grandfather who use to farm this land. This is where we have our 60 chickens and bee hives. Lots of content to work with.

  Hébergement

  Most ideal to commute. But if needed to stay on the farm then the living arrangement is tent living with a shared kitchen and bathroom. Its basic living on a farm, very outdoorsy, very breezy and chilly at night. you can bring tent or we can provide one. There is a small apartment onsite where everyone uses a traditional shower and kitchen but we are working on building out an outdoor kitchen and shower house for workawayers. I must confess I'm not that great of a chef so rather than provide meals, I can provide basic staple food ingredients (pastas, rices, seasonings, oils, eggs, oatmeal) and everyone is up to their own cooking skills. Food items not included and is up to you is your protein, your dairy, your fruits and vegetables. When possible, I'll contribute group meals. I make great crepes!
