We are a 15 acre farm located in the valley, surrounded by mountains and lakes. Our goal 10 years ago was to establish an organic farm based on the principals of permaculture. There are 3 greenhouse, 7 'hoop houses', a barn, and various shelters for the larger animals. At present, the livestock consists of milking goats, chickens, cows, wool sheep, llamas and pigs. We grow a variety of crops in raised beds for both home use and local sales including CSA's and farmers markets. We are looking for someone (or couple) who is passionate about working in partnership with the planet to provide for primary human needs. We offer room & board in exchange for labor which is task-oriented and allows for some outside employment,if needed. The tasks range from early seed germination (the seasons are short here) to processing (canning, dehydrating, freezing) in the fall, and cheese-making. The rules are simple and based on thoughtful community living. Everyone is provided with their area of personal space, meals (breakfast & dinner) are shared 5 days a week. Lunch food is provided but it is a "do it yourself" project. It can be a year-long experience for those desiring such. We are 10 miles out of town in an area that provides recreational opportunities all year long (skiing, swimming, golf, hiking, etc.) There are also a variety of special events - live theater, symphony, bands. English is the only fluent language spoken. Under the right circumstances, children  are accepted. The need for people to start is in March. Anyone with 'goat milking' experience is highly desired  (training available). Also sheep sheering skills a plus!
