Middle aged couple in Warrenville, IL (western suburbs of Chicago) looking for friendly people to help with acre of gardens, orchard, and vegetable beds and in home.
We are very friendly, flexible, and open to many things. I am a writer, pastor, and speaker, and various other creative things. My husband is a doctor. We love traveling and exploring, and love meeting people of a similar mindset. We're open to whatever working arrangement you find best and happy to tell you all the best things to do in the area! We're very quiet and introverted, but we enjoy learning from you!

List of priority projects we are currently doing that you may spend time on:
1. Painting rooms
2. Mulching gardens
3. Planting seeds inside (before May 15) or planting seedlings outside (after May 15)
4. Pruning or cutting down trees/bushes
5. Working with cheese or making cheese from scratch as a hobbyist
6. Making meals and basic housecleaning
7. Clearing land for native planting and pollinator areas
8. Weeding
9. Harvesting vegetables and fruit

We are only accepting vaccinated candidates at this point, and we are both fully vaccinated.
