General Farm Description: Drought, wildfire, Covid. Nothing is certain. How do we embrace this?

For more information contact: homesteadingsara@gmail.com What might you find here? Goats, ducks, turkeys, chickens, humans (ten of us from age 11 to 76), various gardens and living structures, old and new orchards, berries and vineyards, a struggling creek, oaks, madrones and a lone redwood, an outdoor kitchen, shower and bathtub, hoophouses, a medicinal herb garden, bio-char, compost, humanure and a roadside farmstand.

We offer housing, seasonal farm fresh food and $500 monthly stipend. We are affiliated with the School of Adaptive Agriculture where you can participate (free of charge) in educational workshops.
What do we do? We pull some weeds and eat others. We prepare new beds and try to leave roots in the ground for all those lovely soil organisms. We make compost, milk goats, make cheese and kefir, plant and harvest fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs, sell produce at the farmstand or farmers market, grow medicinal herbs, mulch beds, plant cover crops, watch plants die when there is no water, worry about drought and wildfire, repair fallen fences, clogged pumps, and broken gates, and try to be there for each other when times are hard.
