Descrição
I am a homesteader and an herbalist. After 35 years of urban homesteading in Florida, I've moved to NC to expand my work. I'm an author and an advocate for peaceful sustainable living. The goal of this space is to give 30-40% of what we grow to food banks. We are going to grow a lot!
We are on 5 acres in NC, about an hour eastish from Asheville. We have over 40 fruit trees, a large garden, chickens, and a solar charging station for the electric equipment. We have plans for herb gardens, gourd tunnels, and more.
For now, the focus will be on the garden, setting up the greenhouse, and building more guest quarters in the large, detached garage. I'm looking for people with building, irrigation, and gardening skills. Willing beginners are welcome.
This is a rural property. I can pick you up at the Asheville airport or a bus/train station. I have a couple of bikes, but there is very little to do within a bike ride from here.
You'll be sharing this piece of paradise with me, Thor and Flora (dogs) , Simba (cat), Bazinga, and Pokey (cockatiels). , twelve hens, and a rooster.
VERY IMPORTANT: I am a chemical-free space. That means NO perfumes, colognes, or personal products that contain chemicals. If you aren't sure, please don't use it. Clothes that have been washed in detergents like Tide, gain, or anything that still smells like the laundry soap you used will be a problem. EWG.org is a great place to look for the toxicity of your products. You'll be happier and healthier if you are chemical-free! Also, no smokers.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Whether you're looking for a broad understanding of homesteading and sustainability or a deep dive into any of the segments of what I do, I can teach you what you need to know.
If you're seeking personal healing on any level, this place has that. There is birdsong, and the smell of the cypress trees is amazing. I can help create a personal wellness program for you, including herbs, and homeopathy. foods and yoga. This property has a healing vibe; you'll leave here stronger and more centered than when you came.
Ajuda
Gardening, irrigation, turning part of the garage into additional guest quarters for helpers, and just general farmish tasks. We are a no till, organic operation and I am just learning about this particular climate and seasons. I've got more fruit trees to plant, and soil building will be a primary goal. Lots to do!

I am terrible at other languages but willing to teach as much as I can. I've had exchange students and many friends from other cultures. I'm hopeless but willing. :)

I have been a wwoof and workaway host for several years now, and it's been great. Moving from the dense urban Florida location to here is quite a change, but homesteading is homesteading, wherever you are. I think this place is going to become a wonderful hub of local food production. I ask that you respect mother earth and no smoking or drugs. I am also sensitive to chemicals and fragrances, so all your personal products must be unscented and chemical free. EWG.org is a great resource to find out more about that.

I can be really flexible with the work I need from you. I usually need mornings to write and evenings I like to be relaxing by 6, but other than that we can make it work. I can skip writing some days. Not looking for someone to stay long term unless you have a lot of skills and we've come to an agreement after I've hosted you for a week or so
