Gorgeous mountain organic farm get-away in Floyd Virginia, USA

Infos

• 

  Description

  Gorgeous farm/homestead in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains on 37 acres, mostly wooded, with trails, surrounded by hundreds of acres of woods. We have a big organic farm garden, orchards, and chickens -- not for public sale, home and guest/workaway consumption.
  I am a mom of two teenage girls, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and chickens (our horses are no longer here). We live on the top of a small mountain in Floyd County, Virginia. The nature and landscape here are stunning. We have a large 100+ year old farmhouse, and a separate cabin at the back end of the property in the woods. We have creeks, natural mountain springs, and a big pond for swimming.
  I have traveled to over 40 countries, living in a few. I speak French (not fluently) and some Russian. I work in the nonprofit world in sustainable/regenerative agriculture and am a certified holistic health coach. I specialize in the nexus of food/nutrition/health, especially autoimmune diseases.
  We are seeking help with the gardening: prepping garden beds, planting, weeding/putting down hay, outdoor work: weed-whacking, clearing established trails, farm maintenance, and other upkeep needs. Inside the farmhouse help needed includes: painting and paint touchup.
  My girls are very busy with school and sports. There will be a lot of alone time, so a good fit is someone who is independent!
