My wife and I currently live near Monterey, CA, and are coming to the end of our time here. We're looking for someone with land with space for us to put down our 16ft yurt (belle tent) in exchange for our assistance planning, executing, and maintaining your vision.
We are experienced with and passionate about: permaculture/food forests/organic & sustainable farming; gourmet and medicinal mushroom cultivation; efficient & ethical chicken husbandry; sourdough bread & pizza; value-added products (jam/preserves, hot sauce, beer/wine/cider, pickles & other ferments);
compost production (including vermicompost); and solar power. We are also very learned and enthusiastic about: alternative building methods (cob, straw bale, earthbag, rammed earth) & styles (tiny houses, yurts, converted vehicles); rocket stoves & mass heaters; charcoal/biochar production; and much more!
We have two cats and a mid-sized, well-behaved dog, and they are used to, and very happy with, living in and around the yurt. We also have two cars (a sedan & a 4x4 SUV), so we can provide our own transportation as well as help with errands if desired. In terms of location, we'd love if you're nearby (central coast CA), but we're willing to relocate for the right opportunity, and are generally interested in the west coast US.
We are versatile, fast learners, and hard workers, and we want to work with you on realizing your goals. Let us help you maintain your property, design your ideal garden, and bring out the full potential of your space.
