  Description

  I am a single Dad (Mother, Erika, in photos passed away Apr 2022 but she is with us in spirit and the project she envisioned will continue to completion, god willing) and 9 yo 3rd grader son working on a new Organic Farm project Wolcott (Eagle County, 20 minutes to Vail) Colorado , 40 acres of sage covered land. Clearing, building barn and greenhouse (water, electric and footings in summer 21), agricultural buildings (nursery, animal shelters and goat pastures etc) and all the necessities to get this started. Bring your skills and join the excitement of starting a project from scratch! Accommodations are camping with outdoor shower, kitchen and latreen. Rustic but with power, water and high speed wifi (Starlink). We are near the Eagle and Colorado rivers for recreation, as well as towns of Eagle, Avon, Vail and Aspen and the mountains of course. Alternatively you can live in at our spacious luxury home in Evergreen and travel with us on weekends to work at the ranch.
  
  There is also a position that is 'home based' where you would live in our family home in Evergreen with all the comforts of a modern contemporary mountain home. More involvement with child, so that background would be important and possibility of travel to Mexico or overseas with our family.
  
  We are strict nonsmokers, eat healthy mostly organic foods, pork free, and don't use or allow recreational drugs.
  
  Please contact us with any questions you have.
  
  Attn Ukraine refugees, we can host families.

  Aide

  We would need your help in the construction of farm structures and landscaping, and around , help for cooking, help some maintenance of the property , help outside the house landscaping , help making food gardens, nursery, and help establishing permaculture and biodynamic vegetable gardening. This can be very beneficial for you too because some work renowned permaculture teachers will come and teach us so you may learn a lot as well , or if you know you can teach us can be great. Possibly (hopeful) we will do some earth block production and building.
  
  We expect only 5 hours a day for 5 days a week and we are flexible on days.
  
  We expect you will do your own meal preparation and dishwashing, cleaning your camping area, and laundry which is considered to be part of daily life together, apart if one is in charge for some full activity. We may often invite you to join our meal time and family dinner but it is not expected.

  Hébergement

  Accommodation is camping at the farm with other Workawayers (or none, depends). You can set up your own tent or use one of ours (might be shared). Farm camping is shared living space with bivuac bathroom and outdoor camp shower and kitchen. We have power, water and Wifi.
  
  Food ; we provide food for simple communal two meals per day-shared preparation and clean up.
  
  Since we are health advocators and wants to live healthy and mindful life we love to share our place like minded positive people in our small community. House rules: It is NOT OK to use Marijuana, use profanity, smoke or consume alcohol or any kind drugs in and around the Farm campground. We have an eight year old and must set a good example in a child friendly atmosphere. Violation of these rules will result in you being asked to leave immediately.
  
  We would suggest you to bring: warm coat, work shoes, work clothes, mud boots, for eventual activities in the farm.
  
  It is important for us that you can come with an open mind and heart, and the willingness to participate with everything and not only with your eyes and not only do what we ask to do: we don’t like to have a robot-like relationship based on obedience, but to share responsibility for the place and the time we live together.
  
  The maximum length of stay that would make sense will depend on your skills and, obviously, how much we all enjoy each others' company. We’ve had some guests for six weeks. There are zoning limits of 5 days for RV living on our land.
  
  We would ask you to help a maximum 25 hours a week.
  
  It's very peaceful here, and we want to keep it that way, so this won't work for someone who wants to party and makes a lot of noise.
  
  We have two village of Avon nearby, as well as Vail, Eagle, Edwards, Glenwood Springs and Aspen all within easy driving distance and most of our helpers choose to bike, hike or drive to there often for their often internet usage. There is cell coverage in the area.
  
  Looking forward to meet with you!
