Ranch Managers - Cortez, CO

Ranch managers for our 80 acre permaculture off the grid project. We started the Permacutlure Provision Project 2 1/2 years ago with the missions statement, "Find your way back to the garden...Helping individuals, families, and communities find a path of provision to health, food, and water abundance. If this resonates with you and you would like to help us develope this amazing lifestyle please continue reading.

We have many small farm animals here to help us build soil and feed the people living here and my family. We have planted over 600 trees. We have built a lodge for guests and have several building project in the works to hopefully complete before the first of the year.

We will provide very nice living quarters and three meals a day in exchange for 4 to 5 hours of work a day combined. To make that clearer, one of you could work 2 hours in the morning and the other could work 2 hours in the middle of the day and 1 more hour checking on the animals before bed. When we do building projects on the land we would pay you for those hours depending on your skill level. We should have several of these projects over the next 5 months.

Daily life on the farm right now consists of feeding and watering animals, irrigating gardens that are on an automated drip system. Help with cooking for guest about once a week. Keeping lodge vacuumed and dusted. Keeping the outside tidy and organized.

We use our tractor everyday so it is something that you would need to feel comfortable using. It is an automatic piece of equipment so it is very easy to learn. We also use the website workaway.info to acquire workers for the ranch. We have had over 25 people here over the past 3 years helping us. We need you to manage them and keep them busy. Plan the meal schedule and get them to cook, clean and whatever is needed. We like to keep around 4 to 6 at a time but when winter come we can't house them here. We have a camp site for the workers but it is not winterized.

We are hoping to find a couple interested in helping us because we are doing several permaculture projects on the Navajo Nation that are really big and we can't do both right now. So if you are looking for a long term job of a year or more with huge potential for your own income streams, please contact us.
