Description
We have a Farm to Table Educational program so that we can teach whole food cooking and bread baking classes to our local children and their families. We just received a grant for a community garden for that purpose.
We host travelers from around the world in our vacation rentals. ( Super sweet happy hippies)
We have hosted over 200 work away travels in the past 6 years. Our vision is inspired by the 4 Sacred Elements. Earth( garden) Fire(Culinary arts), Air (Solar power)and Water (Caribbean ocean), Our vision is so big that we must gather our tribe and work and live as one. spirit being the 5th sacred element.
We have a yoga deck, 9 raised garden beds, 4 cottages and a professional outdoor kitchen with a view. We are over an Acer of land in a virgin valley on a small island, in the Virgin Islands.
We would love to share our paradise with you. Super quiet and peaceful.
The last ferry to our Water island is at 9 pm and the ferry cost $10 round trip
Lend your ears,
Lend your hands,
Lend your movement
Anything that you can.
Come to teach,
come to be taught,
Come in the image and the likeness of God.

We are in need of a veggie garden and to use up gallons of colorful paint. stone gardens ... we are building glass bottle walls and collecting rocks for stonework. driftwood gathering. Will be working with youth groups and taking care of our guest.
IMPORTANT.
We ask that you have travel insurance and do not to take a job while you are here.
4-week min stay works best for us, will consider a shorter stay. We do not provide meals due to the high cost of living here in the Virgin Islands. We do share meals on our big work days and we often break bead with our beautification team.
We really prefer couples older than 25 or friends traveling together, but will consider anyone with the right open-hearted vibe.
We highly recommend you have travel insurance when you travel
