Fields Ranch
We are looking for a short-term ranch hand to help fix up our ranch/homestead in Fallbrook, California (North County San Diego), with the potential for long-term work. We are located in a small town in the foothills near hiking/biking trails and horseback riding, a river, wineries, charming towns, and only 30 minutes to the ocean, 1.5 hours to mountains with snow and 1.5 hours to Los Angeles.
The job includes a mix of carpentry and landscaping, with the potential for animal care in the future. Carpentry work includes building and mending fences, repairs/renovations to barns, some errands such as dump runs and picking up supplies. Landscape work includes planting new shrubs and trees, mulching, weeding, clearing plants and trees, digging/grading, hardscape. Required experience includes use of tools, ranch maintenance, and landscaping. Additional experience with (or desire to learn about) California native landscaping, irrigation, agriculture, and advanced carpentry is preferred for more long-term work, such as setting up gardens, building greenhouse and chicken coop, fruit tree and vegetable crop maintenance, and animal care (horses, goats, chickens).
The job is perfect for someone that loves working outdoors and/or wants to learn more about ranching and homesteading. We will train as needed, though will appreciate enough experience to be able to work independently.
The hours are flexible. We can do 18-24 hrs/week for approximately 3 months, or we can do full-time for 1-2 months, with the potential for on-going part-time afterwards. We can arrange additional hours at neighboring ranches if you want more work as well. $16-$20/hour depending on experience. Please provide your work experience, skills, and at least one reference.
