    Descrição

    Hello there traveler! Let us first introduce ourselves: We are the Smiths... grandfather Kent(85) (grandmother recently passed away in december), my father Roy(53), and I am Siena(20). We are a frugal family, happy to share our beautiful property and meet new people.

    We are repairing and replanting a historic mixed animal farm in the heart of Sonoma county, less than an hour from San Francisco. Our farm uses traditional and regenerative practices to restore the health of the land and adapt to the ecological crises. Our goal is to provide food for the family, wildlife, and local community, and we are developing hedgerows, orchards, veg gardens, and animal lines suitable for our region.

    A stay here is ideal for those who are interested in low-energy, historic, and modern farming methods. We value curiosity, those who are highly organized, and interested in simple, alternative ways of living.

    Guest travelers will help plant trees, fix up buildings, and tend to daily animal care. You will not be expected to contribute to any form of business or market activities.

    We are located between urban areas, and have easy freeway access to the whole Bay Area. Thirty minutes drive to the coast or wine production areas. Bus and train transport is a ten minute bike ride away.

    We look forward to occasional outings with you, including hiking and sightseeing, as well as campfire potlucks and chats.



    OUR PRIMARY GOALS FOR 2024: fixing the house, working on hedgerows, and cleaning up the property.

    Projects include:
    - Daily feeding of chickens, pigs, sheep, donkeys, dogs, geese, and cats.
    - Walking and brushing of donkeys. (a workawayer favorite)
    - Basic carpentry and building projects.
    - Planting and care of crops.

    We have hundreds of trees to create hedgerows with. Pleasant and rewarding work.

    Our Farm - "Yesterdays Traditions, Today's Health, Tomorrow's Hope"

    ** Because both I and my father are too busy currently, we cannot make meals for workawayers. You will be provided with a modest food stipend, but will have to cook for yourself most of the time (there is a full kitchen in the trailer).

    Espaço para estacionar campervans

    Seasonally we can host people with campervans/motorhomes. It gets very wet and muddy here, and so summer time is the best time if you want to be able to get your vehicle out of the field.
