Hello all,
We’re looking for a farm hand and mother’s helper for our family farm. Our long term farm goals are to become self-sufficient and regenerative while staying organic and low waste.
We have a large family and both parents work (one full-time one part-time) but have several young children that make farm chores a team effort. Mom will be home when you’re helping with the kids.
We eat organic, homeschool and live off grid. We can, dehydrate, cook from scratch and ferment as much as we can. Our short term farm goals are to get enough growing in our gardens to feed our family and sell the rest at our local farmers market or perhaps directly from our farm. We newly breed speciality mini cows, have two family milk cows, Nigerian dwarf goats that are being bred now for milk and cheese, chickens for eggs and meat, turkeys, peacocks, and guinea fowl. We have several gardens and an orchard that need some attention as well.
Responsibilities would including morning milking, milk processing, helping with the children’s homeschool, meal prep, gardening, animal husbandry, animal processing help, checking animal waters, feeding animals, and possibly some horse training. Any experience with horses including ferrier skills would be great too. We are open to you bringing your horse but unfortunately cannot accommodate any other animals.
We live in a beautiful location about 1 hr from town but have all the comforts of home including wifi, washers and a dryer, dishwasher etc.
Total hours would be approximately 3 to 5 hrs per day Monday to Friday with this opportunity for extra hours on the weekends. You are welcome to have another job if that’s something you want to do but it would need to be done around the above responsibilities. Our current farm hand is leaving after being with us almost 6 months for another opportunity.
You will have your own room, semi shared bathroom (occasionally guests use that bathroom only) with food and utilities included.
We are looking for a minimum 6 month commitment, with some child care experience and someone who is interested in this lifestyle. We would also consider a single mother who brings her child/children.
We are a non-smoking and drug free home but social drinking is ok.
There is also potentially local opportunities to help with cattle round up and trail rides as well depending on your interests.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you have!
We look forward to hearing from you!
