I need folks who can help plant, weed, water and harvest my gardens, as well as feed and care for my two llamas, two goats, four ducks and dozen or so chickens, along with three cats.
Right now, because of my broken hip, I need someone who can care for the animals and help me with things like laundry, cleaning and shopping. It’s an easy volunteer, and you’re welcome to spend the rest of your day doing what you’d like. I also need to repair the damages done by my "caretaker" while I was overseas and help locate all the things he reorganized.
The house is filled with things to do (books, vinyl records, games) so you won’t be lacking for entertainment. I have good wifi and a truck you can borrow if need be for chores. (Sorry, it’s manual transmission.)
I also love folks who come up with creative new ideas for my property. And, if you're into cooking I won't turn that down.
The chickens and ducks need to be let out first thing in the morning (they're free-range) which is done by the earliest riser after dawn. You'll also fill their food and water bowls. This takes maybe 15 minutes.
At sunset, the chickens/ducks need to be put in their coop and the goats and llamas fed. (It takes me a half-hour in my wheelchair.)
Once a week, the chicken coop needs to be cleaned, and the llama poop pile cleared. (I have a compost bin.) Time is open.
The housecleaning and laundry can also be done when you won't unless I need something.
The only restrictions: no dogs, firearms, or drugs, and smokers MUST smoke outdoors only. (420 OK outdoors)
Please know this is a dusty desert environment: Clothes/shoes that can withstand cactus and other thorns are a must, and a willing attitude is required.
