Hay,
Thanks for checking me put,
I live on a farm and always need help with various projects.
Secondly
There is always a need for maintenance and carpentry.
Môre general info about the space below..
I have set u 6 spaces -3 Teepees, 2 Geodomes, and One sandbag house approximately 20 minutes from town (8km on a decent dirt road).
After an 8 month break from volunteerism, I'm ready to upgrade spaces in a collaborative way with the beautiful souls that travel through the Workaway space.
A large part of the farms evolution has been through and thanks to work aways.
We are 4 years into the Journey to becoming a full eco training center and are looking for fresh input.
Our immediate needs are for a person comfortable with the basics of electrickiry to help birth a brand new Solar Cooker working with US-based partners. Any skill level welcome
A recent trip to J-bay has completely inspired me that painting the otherwise drab (whitewashed) long drops could be a complete game-changer for Airbnb client's nature experience.
I stay alone except for 1 Malawian that does most of the heavy lifting and general farm work.
I have 2 children (Quinn almost 5) and Laya 9 that visit every second weekend.
Life is beautiful and buzzy
In addition, there is amazing food growing in the garden and it would be great to get a smoothie a day out of the garden and share a beautiful dinner together each evening.
I'm currently a flexitarian but happy to be vegan/veggie/omnivore - falling in line with the individual person's needs are.
There is lots of alone time as I work full time on my Solar Cooking company during the day.
Evenings are relatively free.
Other tingz to note
You will be located right next to the largest chunk of indigenous Forest anywhere in South Africa with an hour walk to a beautiful waterfall and other abundant Forest walks.
You will have ample time to explore and enjoy what the location has to offer. People come here from all over the world to experience this raw nature - I just wish to make it more beautiful.
There is great wifi on offer - you will most likely stay in a Teepee unless fully booked.
I picked up some breathing challenges from some poor choices in my teenage days - so any knowledge on health/breathing exercises would be a huge bonus. Putting a big priority on Health in 20 22.
Am also looking to re-create and decorate each space afresh - a spruce up and space clearing exercise.
There is also an opportunity to get involved on the solar side - either with admin or heading up charity research.
Basically, I'm looking for Self sufficient Eco Ninjas to come and play a part and join the growing international web of consciousness that comes with sustainable or natural living.
There is also a new orchard and a large permaculture garden under development.
Will be opening up spaces to longer-term rentals.
I'm calling it "sustainability residencies" where one can practice in a real-life situation what living with the elements is actually like.
Ideally, we would like to host workshops every 6 weeks on these topics.
This is a snapshot of activities and needs.
Please reach out to me if any of this sounds like what you are looking for.
Strong work Ethic and self-motivation is a must.
Thanks,
Crosby
Below is snippets from an older call out
If you have webbing and photo editing skills that would also be super amazing
Skills in permaculture, solar energy, plumbing - eco-building. And/or experience/qualifications with sustainable dev
If you feel you have skills to share - we can also look at doing workshops at our venue to share with Garden Route locals
Additionally, I have an upcoming project called the solar caravan which will require a multidisciplinary eco team to identify and assist with resolving some of the most pressing issues in South Africa (and globally) at this moment.
Like an eco swat team.
Please message me for more details...
this kind of collaboration can always be done remotely at the moment.
We are also especially interested in filmmakers and film editors
Day to day help with life at the farm can include:
Help with setting up Infrastructure (building, gardening, venue improvement, etc) and prettifying spaces
Checking Guests in - showing them where/how it all functions
Ensuring spaces are clean and ready to receive guests
Gardening Projects
Multi miscellaneous Farm Projects - building, installing chimneys for Firebaths maintenance etc
A Little Background on me and the current situation:
I moved down from Joburg 5 years ago.
I have traveled 43 Countries and shared many magical moments helping/being helped along the way and believe in paying it forward, gifting economy, and all things along the line of a new world system - based on people and planet before profit.
Happiness and keeping it light is important to me.
I am done with living in cities and can only imagine visiting them for the Holidays.
I have 2 Children (Quinn 3 and Laya 7) who I adore.
They live close by with their mom and visit every second weekend.
Also, there are 2 dogs who Love love.
We have a large Veggie patch that always needs weeding/planting/seed saving activities etc.
I live with Captain Joseph from Malawi who started full time in Dec 2018 and is an amazing man with an awesome work ethic. I run a solar company and can always use help with running the green dragon. Business admin and Systems Ninjas can apply, please.
My - Long Term Vision for the farm is to turn it into an Eco training center, yoga retreat space, permaculture, upcycling, etc, etc...
Essentially all aspects of sustainable living
I Would Love to do more Yoga but need encouragement...:)
Our place is exquisitely beautiful and situated with easy access to Forests, waterfalls, and 40 minutes from the beach.
25 minutes from Knysna town.
If you are interested in learning/ teaching or partaking in a journey towards sustainability.
Please reach out and let's see what skills/knowledge/time we might share together
We have high-speed WIFI and go into Knysna Town 2-3 times per week so we can arrange collections/drop-offs etc
Thanks and Safe and Happy travels,
Crosby
