Here’s the TLDR: we have a ton of garden space (about an acre) we can’t use and want a long term woofer to come kick ass and use most of it and let us have some of the spoils. I just can’t keep up with it.
We would really prefer people that have their own trailer/van/bus and want a spot to stay for a while and just help us out here and there. In our experience it just works out better in the long term for scheduling/meals/getting things done.
We have 155 acres outside of the historic gold country town of Murphys, Ca. The site was once used as a cannabis farm but is now being converted into a homestead where we run our new business, Blooms and Shrooms. We also run a hipcamp hosting so we have campers from time to time. We have a booth at the local farmers market and also just started a bouquet club! We focus on cut flowers but are also starting a little vegetable garden. As far as projects go, we have tons! From building out tiny houses to chicken coops, garden beds, root cellars, hugelkultur, planting trees… it goes on and on..
Our goal is to make this land a sustainable farm/ecosystem that is a welcoming and loving little slice of nature where people can relax, learn, grow and enjoy all the benefits of a peaceful life without being too hippy dippy. So far we’ve had AWESOME luck with the wwoofers that have come! **We’ve also learned there are A LOT of people who change their plans, so it’s really important to us to filter out who’s serious and who’s not.
We shoot for a 8a-noon schedule 5 or 6 days a week. Farmers Market is on Sunday and it’s super important to help with that! Other than that we are flexible.
