Seeking Caretaker/Farm Assistant

Date: 2013-03-09, 5:59PM

We have a beautiful 25 acre organic farm north of Quilcene. We seek a
single person or couple to live in our 25' yurt and oversee the
property. This offer comes in two packages:

1) The ideal person has an interest/passion for growing things. We
have greenhouses and the caretaker could have one large greenhouse to
pursue personal farming interests. This includes use of drip tape,
some tools to borrow, etc. Additionally the caretaker could have space
for an outdoor garden.

We provide the yurt (which has electricity, wifi, heat, full kitchen,
outdoor shower) and a bathhouse (with shower, composting toilet) in
exchange for watching over the farm, mowing as needed and caring for
our farm animals (currently chickens and barn cats.) Utilities are
split with owners.

2) We would like to hire the caretaker on a part time basis to act as
farm assistant for work which could include everything from weeding to
rototilling to helping on our nearby aquaculture project. We would
guarantee a certain number of hours monthly and a flexible schedule
which would allow the person to pursue other work if interested.

The ideal candidate is comfortable living in a rather remote location
(although only 20 miles to Port Townsend), has an interest in
agriculture -- particularly organic farming and/or botanicals, and
enjoys animals . This person should have a good, strong work ethic, is
self-sufficient, has some experience with tools and mechanics, knows
when to ask questions and is self-motivated. A good sense of humor a
must.

Compatibility with owners essential as they split their time between
farm and city.

If interested please send email describing yourself, including
relevant experience, personal interests, potential project interests
and anything you'd like us to know about you. A current resume would
be appreciated.

Position open immediately.

Location: Quilcene
