Off-grid market veggie and award winning legal regenerative cannabis farm in the redwood country

California

6 • Updated 5 months ago

We are a small off-grid market veggie and award winning legal regenerative cannabis farm in the redwood country of Northern California. Our farm is designed and developed around homesteading, sustainable living and permaculture goals. We are surrounded by healthy forest and creek environments in a dirt road rural neighborhood 15 minutes from the nearest town. We have year round gardens and food production, but focus much of our farming energy on the May through October season of our farmer's market. Activities include: Nursery care and plant propagation. Planting, care, cultivation, and harvesting of annual and perennial vegetable production crops. Preparation and development of garden beds. Care and harvest of fruit and berry crops. Care of chickens, moving of mobile chicken coop. Care of goats and possibly milking. We apologize in advance if we don't get back to you right away. With the duties of the farm and two small children, answering every email can sometimes slip through the cracks. Please be patient with us or send out a reminder if you don't hear back. We expect our wwoofers to be consistent and hard working during their working times, interested in learning homesteading and farming skills, friendly and respectful of others and self motivated. Please be able to provide references. Wwoofers are hosted March through November, 20 hours a week. Accommodations consist of a restored airstream trailer for full season interns and a small cabin (pictured) for shorter stays. Your own transportation is recomended, we are rural and without public transportation. Children are welcome. No Pets please. Meals during work time and basic foodstuffs (grains and beans) can be provided, as well as garden produce, eggs, and goat dairy products. We are half an hour from the lost coast. There are numerous world class hiking, biking and wilderness trails along the largest section of wilderness coastline in the continental United States. There are rivers with seasonal swimming holes and incredible redwood groves all within a short drive from the farm. Thanks for looking, your help would be greatly appreciated.

So thankful to be here on this gorgeous farm with such amazing hosts, Daniel and Taylor. I stayed one week and loved it so much that I decided to stay for the season. The hosts are funny, kind, warm, welcoming, and super knowledgeable trendsetters. They have taught me how to use technology to make the work faster, easier, and more fun. The work is hard but rewarding. The cabin is cozy and quiet with serene views of the forest. Here you’ll get to enjoy beautiful trees and the best veggies ever. The hosts generously share all the farm to table goodness, like fresh snap peas, sweet juicy carrots, turnips, cucumbers, and more like fresh eggs. Come for the learning experience, stay for the idealic lifestyle. You’ll be glad you did.

This was my first WWOOF and I gained so much from the experience. This farm is a very special place and the community that Daniel and Taylor have cultivated there is unlike anything I've experienced. I stayed for 3 weeks in May-June and the work was definitely intense but every night I would go to bed at least a little bit excited about doing it again the next day. Daniel and Taylor made me feel very welcome and safe and the farm dinners were always delicious and a lovely time. They also quickly fixed any issues with the airstream as they came up and made sure I had what I needed. On weekends I swam in the most magical river spot or drove out to the coast and looked around the tide pools or hiked around the redwoods all of which were so beautiful. I really cherish my time on the farm and I miss it and all the animals lots. I would love to go back someday!

My stay at Briceland was above all expectations. It was my first time wwoofing and I will forever keep great memories, both of the farm work, the stay in general, and the people I met there. The farm in itself is so beautiful. Stunning location, interesting system with a variety of crops. I wanted to learn the maximum about the techniques used and Daniel was very insightful and eager to share what he knew. Regarding the work, since I stayed in early summer we did lots of planting, bed preparation, harvesting for market, watering, some weeding also. It was pretty diversified, intense but mainly because I wanted to and was there to work. Daniel and Taylor would always offer to take breaks or time off, I worked full days most of the time because I felt so good there and wanted to ! Most of the day I was with Jonathan, which is a great person to work with and learn from. The accomodation was perfect for me (a comfy vintage camper), with the goats visiting every day and a great view. It was definitely a "good match" with the people themselves, so I really loved hanging out with both Taylor, Daniel and Jonathan. They are such interesting people to discuss with. And I don't mention the food which was ALWAYS super good and homemade. I would really recommend having a car otherwise you won't be able to see much of this amazing area with the redwoods and the coast. A few nice walks are accessible on foot though. I am so thankful for this whole experience, and hope to return someday !

It was my first time wwoofing and I am so glad I did it at Daniel and Taylor's farm. Only positive things to say, and my stay there was really more satisfying than I could have expected. I don't have enough characters so will make it short. D&T are super generous, passionate people, and I thank them again for that. The location: stunning, close to the redwoods. The farm is a homestead producing a good variety of veggies as well as cannabis, for which they have a very interesting approach and philosophy. They also had goats and made their (delicious) goat cheese (+ bread !). They sell at 2 small markets, so it's all about tight communities, local businesses, everybody knows each other, the atmosphere in the area is very friendly and you get to meet lots of interesting, open minded people. The workload: I went there in spring, when there was much to do. We did lots of planting, harversting for market, soil preparation and weeding. Everything was pretty satisfying to do in my opinion, taught in a nice and motivating way by Daniel, Taylor and Jonathan, to whom I am also very grateful. I worked with him all days long and he taught me a lot. I did full days, but lots of time they gave me the opportunity to stop before the end of the day and I did the "full days" mode just because I wanted to get the maximum of my experience. I didn't visit much of the area because without a car it's a bit complicated, so I would recommend coming with a car if you can. 3 weeks were way to short!

I spent 3 months at BFF doing an internship : First time wwoofing, farming and even being in the USA. I was anxious but thanks to Daniel and Taylor, I immediatly felt welcome! The environment is amazing. The farm is in the middle of the redwoods and really close to the ocean and the river. It was an incredible opportunity to work there! The farm itself is a wonderfull place to live. So much life, happiness and good waves... There are two big dogs who look like bears and will always be there to protect you and ask you to pet them, three cute cats, a herd of loving goats (depending on their mood) and chickens with a (really) protective rooster... The garden produces great organic food with a lot of tasty vegetables! And Daniel and Taylor are here to coordinate all of that. I feel really lucky I got to meet them: Open-minded, generous, antentive, great pedagogue and knowledgeable. Thanks to them I learn so much about agriculture but also wildlife, fires, neurosciences, cheese, cooking, camping, relationships, repairing a phone, Hawaii, pregnancy... and life in general! They transformed this internship into the greatest experience of my life! MISS YOU

Wonderfull experience! I feel so gratefull that I reach Briceland Forest Farm as my first experience in an American farm. I ususally travel without expectations, but that what just too much, what a gift!! The place is lovely, wild and homy at the same time! A big open space between the forest, full of care and love. The gardens, the living spaces, the trails to hike in the forest, everything is wonderfull. There is also a place for goats (the best cheese in the county...) and chickens, so that the farm is really full of life. Protection comes from the two big dogs, Bruen and Griffin, beasty and lovely pupets! Daniel and Taylor are amazing people, such a nature lovers! really close from the very first day, they know a lot about farming, organic agriculture (especially soil), and they are always willing to share this knowledge. We enjoyed a lot working, talking, eating, walking, listening to music, tablegames, wine and laughs. They have a great mood and always want to laugh!! The acommodation was perfect, great sleep, great shower and wonderfull food! What a chef Taylor!! Happyness at lunch time, u don´t need more. I am specially glad that I got to know a bit more about the real way of living in Humbold County, and also about the past history of it. Daniel knows a lot of that, and has many books. I was very surprised about the strong community laces among all neighbours; helping to each other in whatever task required, the organic market, the community events at Mateel... So happy to experience that. I knew no one when I came to CA, but I feel that I left something like a family there. Thank you so much guys, It´s amazing the life project you are working in!!! Enjoy Hawaii, c u soon ;)
