I create a sense of community with ambition and sarcastic humor. We are in the planning stages of duplicating an aquaponics system that I created on my property in Los Angeles, The Big Bear project will be larger combining all my years of organic farming. The greenhouse build will be underground for a more efficient temperature control. I welcome any suggestions from your past experiences for any of my projects.
Whiteboards are currently hung in the volunteer area with an outline and system being created. I welcome any suggestions and always encourage teamwork. Helpers will commit 25 hours a week to help organize, prepare and execute the building of this aquaponics system and help out with the Airbnb. It will be 25 hours a week and a combination of Airbnb, Home improvement and Agricultural. You will help me plant fruit trees, vegetable garden in the Airbnb area and help clean/organize the house for guests. There will also be opportunities to make some money, pet sitting, leading hikes, educational classes for guest's kids, snow equipment tuning/repair, yoga, nutrition, bodywork, etc. but not guaranteed.
Your input with the planning for the future aquaponics, subterranean greenhouse and organic pool with be much appreciated.
We will be growing lettuce, green onions, bok choy, peppers, zuchinni, cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, etc.
We also welcome anyone with cleaning/housekeeping & building skills and LOVE anyone who can use power tools! In return, we offer accommodation ranging from private rooms in the house (with common kitchen & living room) and private 24 foot RV (ideal for couples).
We expect you to keep your accommodations clean and in good order, and all tools returned prior to leaving. We provide sheets, beds, pillow cases, comforters, bed warmers, blankets, towels, and you get to use a fully equipped kitchen.
We particularly welcome Worldpacker couples and singles who want to stay longer periods of time. (We have a 3 month minimum, but sometimes shorter stays are available on a ""last minute"" basis). We provide some staples, but don't provide/cook meals. Ever so often we host a potluck ""International dinner"" - they're always great fun!
In order for the environment to be pleasant for all of us we require outside smoking only, no drug abuse, light alcohol consumption.
Be NICE and be open minded!
DO your part with assigned household chores
NO complaining unless accompanied by solutions
Personal hygiene - deodorant is ENCOURAGED!
NO drama
Please use this opportunity to go out of your comfort zone, learn, grow and share :-)
