Description
Middle aged couple in Warrenville, IL (western suburbs of Chicago) looking for friendly people to help with acre of gardens, orchard, and vegetable beds and in home.
We are very friendly, flexible, and open to many things. I am a writer, pastor, and speaker, and various other creative things. My husband is a doctor. We love traveling and exploring, and love meeting people of a similar mindset. We're open to whatever working arrangement you find best and happy to tell you all the best things to do in the area! We're very quiet and introverted, but we enjoy learning from you!
List of priority projects we are currently doing that you may spend time on:
1. Painting rooms
2. Mulching gardens
3. Planting seeds inside (before May 15) or planting seedlings outside (after May 15)
4. Pruning or cutting down trees/bushes
5. Working with cheese or making cheese from scratch as a hobbyist
6. Making meals and basic housecleaning
7. Clearing land for native planting and pollinator areas
8. Weeding
9. Harvesting vegetables and fruit
We are only accepting vaccinated candidates at this point, and we are both fully vaccinated.

Eat delicious homemade cheese and honey and learn the process to make them. Learn all about various vegetables and fruits and how to plant, care for, and harvest them.

Aide
Looking for someone to help us get control of our gardens and/or do some light house cleaning. In the summer time, we grow many vegetables and fruits, and are hoping to plant a new area this summer, if we can clear the weeds and brush. We sometimes make our own cheese, if you are interested in helping with that as well.

Autres infos...
We live 30 miles from downtown Chicago, which is easily accessible via train. With car transportation, Michigan is easily accessible (2.5-3 hours) and has some lovely state parks on the Great Lakes. State and county parks surround us on most sides. Great area for camping. We have an inflatable kayak that you are welcome to take with you on the rivers or lakes nearby. Naperville has a beautiful riverwalk and is only 10 minutes away by car. You can also make use of our bicycles.

Brent and Becca make sure everything I need.
We have good and interesting conversation specially during dinner time.
The transportation here to Chicago downtown is quite limited but it's possible to do day trips.
I was weeding, picking red berries and it was so fun.
