Situated in the rolling hills above Homer beyond the Wynn Nature Center, at 1,500 feet above sea level. Our primary activity this upcoming season includes taking care of a 1/2 acre peony field with 4 high tunnels of other flowers/plants, both annual and perennial. Typical activities include composting, weeding, and keeping our plants healthy. We also have an organic sustenance vegetable garden, egg laying chickens, and honey bees.
We are looking for 2 or more WWOOFers, couples welcome, but no pets or children, April through end of September, three weeks plus, participating in a flexible schedule of 25 hours a week.

This area is a highly sought after tourist destination for wilderness hiking, kayaking, canoeing, ocean and river fishing and beach walking. Many nearby attractions!

Certifications: Because we are in a remote area of Alaska, it is difficult and expensive to be certified. We try to be as organic as possible, practicing permaculture and sustainable methods whenever feasible. We are conscientious and intentional to steward land under our care.
We welcome all visitors who are physically fit and able to pick up 40 pounds, bend over, and be on their knees to weed, etc. No prior experience or knowledge of gardening or farming required.
