Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are looking for more female energy as we’ve had a lot of guys lately, and the kids are asking for “girls” 😉.
If you think you are a really good fit for us and you, please feel free to contact to see if it is a good time. We’ve noticed that people who don’t mark that they are vegetarian or vegan sometimes don’t tend to stick around as long.
WE ARE ESPECIALLY IN NEED OF :
* Vegan/vegetarian dinner cook would be AWESOME 😊 General healthy food, basic is fine 🙃🍐🍊🥑🥦🥗🥔🌮🍓
Kitchen cleanliness is important 🙃
Morning driver a plus!!! Watering trees/Plants ! Fun & good organizational skills :-)
Playing games & Art making !!
** We would prefer a stay of at least 2 weeks, 3-6 weeks ideal.
No car necessary. Online students 👍🏼

We have fruit trees you can pick from depending on the season. The weather is especially great in April thru October . We have three cute small dogs and a cat. Three children ages 9 and 13 and 22, and a baby. We have two musicians In the family (violin, drums, piano, guitar, songwriter) and love to have musicians come! Two people know Sign language.

We are located in the mountains overlooking Santa Barbara, we try our best to live a sustainable and conservational lifestyle, including a mostly plant based diet. Our land has a small garden, fruit trees, privacy. My husband teaches environmental science and horticulture. This is a great opportunity if you want to experience and learn how to live this lifestyle.

Food - You will be sharing my kitchen. I will supply mostly organic vegan/vegetarian food. I can do some cooking of meals (usually dinner) and have some food made food in the refrigerator as well. But you would need to do some of your own food prep also (especially breakfast and lunch), depending on what you feel like eating. We eat vegetarian and vegan, so please embrace that while you are here.
Bathroom - You will be sharing one of the bathrooms in my house as well as an outhouse. We try not to use too much water. We have a clothing washer and dryer you can use. We try to hang clothes on the line in good weather to save on electricity.
Sleeping - If you don't have your own car sleeping arrangement, a tent can be set up. We can supply a tent and bedding if needed.
We welcome families, couples, or individuals. A well-behaved dog is fine.
There are no drugs, alcohol, or smoking on the property! We try to be respectful, pleasant, and good communicators, we expect the same from you. FIRE is a big concern in our area: NO FIRES!!! We are in high fire zone during the driest time of the year. That also means NO candles, smoking, incense, propane cooking, or anything that requires a flame!Autres infos...
Many Workawayers that have stayed with us have enjoyed hiking the local mountains, going to the beach, participating in outdoor dance/yoga/skating gatherings, rock climbing. We are 15 minutes from town, there is no public transportation near our house as we are in the mountains. If you do not have a car, you can get rides into town when we go, which is generally daily. Additionally I prefer small cars or even more, if you were to come without a car, parking is limited on mountain slopes. I can easily and happily pick you up from and drop you off at the bus, train or airport in Santa Barbara or Goleta.
* We’ve had a lot of people in the last couple of months shift arrival dates, change/shorten length of stay when here, and all together cancel. The hardest thing is when people cancel entirely, especially last minute. I understand we all have things come up in life, and the pandemic is definitely impacting this as well. It’s been very hard for me to schedule with frequent changes. Please if we discuss and you give me dates, be pretty sure you will be able to keep them. Thanks 😉Informations complémentaires

queer/trans friendly, the perfect first workaway
We had a great time, they prepare amazing vegan food and we had many interesting conversations.
The property is on a hill so be prepared to work on your leg muscles for everything, but the view over the ocean and the close distance to Santa Barbara are more than rewarding for that ^-^… read more
