We are currently 4 queer identified women residents, plus a family of three part time residents, living on 46 gorgeous, partly wooded acres near the scenic Rogue River and not far from Grants Pass/Ashland Oregon. We have a small organic garden for household consumption, some fruit trees, cob greenhouse and artists studios. We are artists, musicians, farmers, natural builders interested in sustainability, community, activism, permaculture and good times. Our livestock consists of a few cats, a few dogs, and a small flock of chickens.
We are seeking engaged, respectful, motivated, fun-loving women to help out with creative enjoyable labor. We invite volunteers during the months of June through September, for stays as short as two weeks to as long as all season. We ask for about 30 hours a week with help on various projects (building, pond making, tree planting, gardening, harvesting, wild crafting, land and house maintenance, etc.) We ask volunteers to camp, and to contribute $25 per week toward grocery fund. We're happy to pick folks up from the local airport or Greyhound station. We ask that you not bring pets or children during you WOOF stay, although we love both. We have shared kitchen and bathrooms, laundry, and limited but available internet access. We eat everything, mostly organic, and can accommodate vegetarians and vegans. We speak English and Dutch and tiny bits of sign language and Spanish. We’re queer-friendly. Fair Warning: at Gypsy Café we work, laugh, drink, smoke and carouse, play lots of music, and occasionally howl at the moon. Please get in touch and tell us something about yourself!
We play as hard as we work. We are 10 miles from the wild and scenic rouge river, with a sweet swimming hole nearby, and 2 hours from the redwoods and the stunning Oregon coast

The Mission of The Gypsy Café Community

The Gypsy Café is a land-based intentional community committed to ecological and feminist values, with a mission to foster creative and artistic expression and land stewardship—permaculture principles, natural building, homesteading, sustainability—and to provide space for collaboration and skills sharing in these areas. The Gypsy Café is an inclusive and welcoming community, engaged in mutual respect, kindness and support, with open, honest communication. Our group decisions are made using consensus. We are committed to constant improvement and growth in all aspects of this mission.
