  Descrição

  Absolutely — Workaway likes things clear, honest, practical, but still warm. Here’s a Workaway-optimized version: a little less dreamy, a little more “this is what you’ll actually do,” while still keeping the magic of the place.
  
  🌲 About Our Place
  We are a rustic mountain animal sanctuary in the Sierra Nevada foothills, focused on animal care, land stewardship, and slowly restoring and improving our property. This is a hands-on, real-life place where helpers become part of daily routines with animals, gardens, and outdoor projects.
  We care for a unique group of animals, including:
  Ostrich
  Emus
  Peacocks
  Ducks and geese
  Chickens
  Pigs
  Dogs
  Cats
  We also maintain gardens, tend trees and bushes, prune plants, improve animal areas, work on fences and trails, and keep the land healthy and functional.
  
  What You’ll Be Helping With
  
  This is a an active place. Typical help includes:
  
  Feeding and watering animals (morning & evening routines)
  Cleaning pens, coops, and animal areas (including ostrich & emu areas)
  Garden help: planting, weeding, watering, pruning bushes and garden plants
  Tending trees, beds, and outdoor spaces
  Helping care for dogs and cats and keeping shared spaces clean
  The work is physical, practical, and meaningful. Some days are busy and active, others are lighter.
  
  🏔️ Living Here
  You’ll be living in the mountains in a quiet, rural setting.
  Conditions are rustic and seasonal (cold, snow, heat, mud, dust depending on time of year)
  Cell service is limited
  You should be comfortable with simple living, animals, and outdoor work
  In return, you get a peaceful place, good purpose, fresh air, and a chance to be part of something real and grounded.
  👋 Who This Is Good For
  Great fit for:
  Animal lovers (especially those excited about ostrich and emus)
  People who like physical, outdoor work
  Gardeners, builders, and practical helpers
  Kind, responsible, self-motivated people
  Not a good fit if you need luxury, nightlife, or reliable high-speed internet.
  ❤️ Our Approach
  We value kindness, responsibility, respect for animals, and taking good care of the land and each other.

  🌲 In Your Free Time / The Area
  In your time off, you’ll be surrounded by some of the most beautiful nature in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The property itself is on a historic gold mine and has a pond, streams, and forest, and we’re close to lakes, rivers, and endless hiking and exploring.
  You can spend your free time:
  Swimming or relaxing by the pond or nearby rivers
  Exploring forest trails, streams, and historic mining areas
  Hiking, nature walking, bird watching, or just enjoying the quiet
  Visiting nearby lakes, rivers, and mountain towns
  Resting, reading, creating art, or enjoying the stars at night
  This is a great place for people who love nature, water, history, and peaceful surroundings.
  Transportation:
  We are in a rural mountain area, so having your own car is helpful but not always required. We can sometimes help with rides to town depending on schedules, and trips can be coordinated when possible.
  This is a special place to unplug, recharge, and experience a truly unique part of Californi
