We are starting a Vineyard, located along the bluffs of the Mississippi River. We have five children that have now grown and moved out on there own. My wife who worked as a Nurse for over twenty years is now disabled and spends most of her time at home ,I do Instrument Work at a local power plant. We could use some help with the Vineyard, but also enjoy fishing and boating on the river. We would be willing to supply your own bedroom, meals. We also have two Collies that love to get brushed and played with. The ideal person would have to be able to work on there own a couple hours a day, weather permitting. There might be a few longer days, but I'm sure that having time off to check out the area won't be any problem. If you would like to e mail us we will show you a couple pictures of our place and the Vineyard. There is a Greyhound Bus Terminal located 15 miles noth of us in La crosse, and if you need we have a couple of bikes to get around with.
Thank You
Michael & Marie

Looking for enthusiastic, young (at heart) people to help me make my homestead more sustainable. Property consists of 23 secluded acres of woods and fields bordered by a river, situated outside a small town in Appalachia. I have a large organic garden, honey bees, chickens, a horse and 4 cats. Accommodations are a private room in Civil War era farmhouse. I need help with everything related to running a small, non-commercial farm.
Learning opportunities abound for anyone interested in heating with wood, including maintaining wood stoves; maximizing food production; rainwater collection; animal care; basic building and maintenance; and fence installation.
I welcome anyone who would like to escape to the country, but still have access to amenities 5 miles away. I would expect a few hours of work a day, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the area. Food arrangements would have to be worked out on an individual basis. I have two sons, 9 and 12, but otherwise it is very qu...

UPDATE:
I (Kimberli) recently underwent surgery on my shoulder and am looking for helpers to be my "other hand". Short term stays of one week to 3 weeks are perfect for us, shorter or longer can be negotiated.
We've recently secured a couple of local restaurant accounts and will be vending regularly at farmers markets and have been doing much more foraging this year -- the oyster and morel mushrooms have been great to us!
We are taking new Helpers for 2013, and can accommodate a single person or couple (no young children).
ABOUT US:
We are a somewhat non-traditional married couple who enjoy the outdoors, trout fishing, live music & theatre, camping and foraging. If you come at the right time in the spring, I'll be happy to take you hunting for morel mushrooms and other wild foods.
Matt has studied tracking with Tom Brown and has an active interest in always learning new things. He also speaks some French and a tiny bit of Spanish.
I am a singer, songwriter, gu...
