  Descrição

  Nestled in the coastal range of Mendocino County, California (about 45 minutes Northwest of Ukiah where the weather is cooler) we are establishing a small farmstead and wildlife sanctuary.  Based on principles of sustainability & permaculture our expanding ridge top garden and orchards consist of a variety of fruits, veggies, herbs and flowers. We are a vegetarian household living very simply off the grid. Our homestead is remote.
  
  Andreas runs his own solar company and installs both off-grid and grid tied photovoltaic systems. He has a background in mechanical engineering and is originally from Germany. I (Laura) have a background in teaching. I have taught in four countries. Currently, I am working at a local hot springs resort. Andreas and I both love to travel. We met in the Philippines and traveled between the U.S.A. and Germany for five years before purchasing land in Mendocino County.
  
  We can use help in the garden, orchards, kitchen and with various other homesteading tasks.
  
  SORRY, BUT WE CANNOT ACCOMMODATE CHILDREN, DOGS OR OTHER PETS!

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Ajuda

  Aside from garden and orchard tasks additional projects may include gathering seaweed and other native wild foods, cooking, canning, fermenting foods, making herbal preparations, habitat restoration, brush and trail clearing and learning how to create and maintain an off grid infrastructure and solar system. We will be sharing our knowledge and give clear directions on how to do many of the above mentioned tasks which will often be carried out with one of us or another helper.
  
  We are looking for self-starters  who are open minded, love to help outdoors, want to unplug and would enjoy the serenity of a mountain forest.  If you have ever thought you might like to homestead or purchase raw land then our farm would be a good place to visit.  We are not a commercial farm. We grow a large variety of food for our own consumption.

  We have two rescue kitties that are sisters and in our home most of the time. If you have a strong cat allergy then we would not be a good fit.
