Room and Board for Apprentice at Organic Farm

Ripley TN

Description

We have a spare bedroom and will provide room and board for an apprentice who is interested in learning landscape design, intensive agriculture, edible landscaping, and permaculture techniques. We are a gay male couple: college Biology professor and antique trader. The room can be furnished from the antique store. On our microfarm- 1.6 acres, we raise goats, chickens, ducks, livestock guardian dogs, rabbits, and pigeons. Trying Turkeys again this year. We sell farm-fresh eggs, fresh fruit in season, edible and ornamental landscape plants. We would like to get into dove release for wedding and funeral ceremonies, training livestock guardian dogs (not just breeding) and landscape installation. If the apprentice develops and maintains one of these money-making projects, the profit goes to the apprentice. Sort of like working on commission, earning money is limited only by the amount of energy and creativity put into the effort.
