Greetings!

We are seeking an experiened couple or team to live in and work at the farmstead.

At our farmstead we currently have 100 laying hens with a hatchery barn. We incubate eggs and do everything from selling fertile hatching eggs, to chicks, to raise our own for the laying operation. The hatchery chores consist of feeding and watering the young birds and monitoring the temps.; Monitoring and tending the incubator and keeping the bedding fresh. The layer barn is feed, water, freshen bedding and collect eggs.

Looking after crops includes transplanting, monitoring for pests and disease, light weeding as we use barrier paper in most of the area and regular fertilizing and irrigation when needed.

We put up a farm stand on the property when enough seasonal vegetables are ready for sale. It is an "honor system" monitored by camera. The farm stand needs to be tended AM and PM to collect the cash box and resupply/remove and blemished produce.

We have two barn pets: a horse and a goat. They are very self sufficient with access to water and free range on round bales in the pasture. We do grain them a few times a week. Both are extremely friendly.

Carpentry, painting, tractor repair,etc. This is for long term. We prefer a six month minimum commitment. The farm is tended to mainly by farm help and we come biweekly to work along and resupply, etc.
