Hello all
We’re looking for a farmhand 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 will be bred this summer 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, farm projects such as irrigation initiation, compost management, gardening, animal husbandry, animal processing help, checking animal waters, feeding animals, and possibly some horse training.
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. We live in in the high desert which can get hot in the summer months but have AC. We also live in rattlesnake country as a heads up if this is an issue.
Total hours would be approximately 3 to 5 hrs per day Monday to Friday with the opportunity for extra hours on the weekends and perhaps more throughout the week. 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 for school and actually works remotely which has worked out great!
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, a female with some child care experience, CPR/basic first aid 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!
