Vernonia Springs has a caretaker work trade position and 1/2 acre land share opportunity available.
Vernonia Springs Caretaker. This role would help me maintain the Vernonia Springs Wedding Venue property. I have been offering this opportunity for many years through work trade websites and have enjoyed very good outcomes for both Vernonia Springs and the caretakers who have stayed here. Most of the work involved with the caretaker position is routine doing gardening, watering, cleaning etc. We provide very detailed guidance, and then allow people the freedom to work their own schedule with some exceptions. In exchange for 20 per week work, the caretake receives a new fully self-contained tiny home. This opportunity is for one person and no animals. If a couple has their own trailer, we could possibly set them up near the farming plot.
1/2 Acre Land Share. When the caretaker isn’t doing their weekly work trade, they can walk the 500 feet the other portion of the property where the ½ to 1 acre farming area is. This person can do whatever they want with this portion of the property. Because the farming plot is a grass field right now, I will work with this person to turn it into a productive farming plot. I will provide all tools and financial investment to get them going. All that they need to do is present me with their plan, help me get the plot set up, then they will be off and running doing all of the daily work maintaining the farming operation. They will be able to keep any money they generate from their efforts. I am willing to do this because I want to see this area of the property become a viable small scale farming operation. This will increase the value of the property. I have all of the equipment (tractor, excavator, tiller, and every other tool imaginable) necessary to make this happen. I also have enough brand-new deer fence to surround the entire area. I am financially secure and can afford to do whatever it takes to make this happen.
What you bring to the table?
-You need to have an understanding of how to farm. While I am willing to work with a beginning farmer, you have to have the experience necessary to get the farm up and running. You would need to be able to show me a plan that makes sense for what you want to do.
-You bring self motivation. If you aren’t self motivated … don’t bother applying. I am providing an opportunity … not the motivation!
-Physically and mentally healthy. In order to farm you need to be physically fit. I also want to work with someone who is mentally healthy as well. This is a drama free zone!
