This could be a great fit for someone who is semi-retired, starting a small farm, or seeking a slower, rural lifestyle connected to the land. We’re looking for someone who sees the magic in our special property and is excited to be part of its care and improvement over time. Tractor experience and comfort working independently are important, and some background in land or animal care is ideal.
We rotationally graze our small herd of cows and are focused on improving the health of the land through thoughtful stewardship. If you value regenerative practices or organic principles, even better — we’d love to connect with someone who shares that mindset.
This is a part-time paid role with the option to exchange work hours for on-site housing. We’re open to conversations about land use for your own farm or homestead venture — including forestland, pasture, or garden space — whether you're looking to grow food, raise animals, or start a small CSA or market project.
Caretaking responsibilities include:
Mowing lawns and maintaining trails during spring, summer, and fall
Shoveling walkways in winter (driveway is professionally plowed)
Feeding round bales to cows in winter (some tractor use required)
Helping care for our rotationally grazed cows (currently 5)
Light property upkeep and seasonal farm projects as needed
Time commitment:
Spring–Fall: approx. 10–20 hours/week depending on needs
Winter: approx. 5–10 hours/week
Housing option:
A comfortable 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home on the property
Available in exchange for part-time work
Includes water, trash removal, and internet
Some infrastructure available (tractor, barns, RTV, portable fencing, water access)
We’re open to creative arrangements and would love to find someone who brings ideas and energy to the land. If this sounds like a fit, please reach out and tell us a bit about your background and what you’re hoping to find in your next chapter.
