Looking for a live-in farm hand

San Jose CA

Description

Come live in a beautiful private studio on an organic hobby farm. Feels like country living, close to hiking and biking trails, and yet just 5-10 minutes from stores! Studio has private bath, in-unit laundry, loft bed with ladder access, kitchenette (refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven and hot plate) and is partially furnished. Absolutely no drugs, no smoking and no candles or open flames. No dogs (we already have three), no cats (we already have barn cats). Space comfortably accommodates one person. Available November 1st. Looking for someone interested in discounted rent in exchange for help around the farm plus additional paid hours (roughly 40hr/week, but we can be flexible). Chores would include feeding animals (must have the ability to move a bale of hay), filling water, mucking stalls, cleaning pens, changing litter boxes, milking goats and cows, watering, fixing irrigation, sweeping, cleaning, digging, or planting, pruning, harvesting and processing fruits/vegetables. Most animals on the farm are raised with loving care to end up as food. Must be Covid vaccinated. Please respond with your applicable experience and a phone number where you can be reached. Se habla espanol, but will need a translator for phone introductions. We do better with Spanish in person.
