Our permaculture food forest provides lots of fun projects, including special composting methods, bio-char garden beds, bamboo creations, to name only a few. Daily maintenance is also a large part of our work here: planting, harvesting, weeding, pruning, etc. We also practice some sustainable building methods and often have some fun projects in progress including natural stone work, natural lime-based plastering, bottle walls, yakisugi, etc.

We are happy to teach you principles of permaculture and work with you in making some good food and beautiful plants grow, as well as work on interesting landscape and structural projects.
We will work with you, and although the work takes energy and focus it has no particular strength requirements. You just need to be willing to get a little dirty. It's surprisingly fun and interesting.
We will work from about 9 until 3, with a 1 hour lunch break in the middle (if it's especially hot, we will adjust this schedule for cooler times of day).
Lunch and dinner are provided. Breakfast is independently provided by volunteer in their own separate kitchen (we are happy to give rides to market for your shopping needs).
No loud partying or excessive drinking/smoking. We are a couple in 40s/50s who are on the mellower side....though we love playing music and laughing and having fun. Evening activities are limited by off-grid solar system.
facilities are comfortable but using sustainable methods, with outdoor shower (with solar hot water heater), and composting toilet.
