Established 5 years ago, the farm is located in Roseburg. Our 107 acres property
is dedicated to Biodynamic farming and preservation of the natural ecosystem.
We have about 300 fruit and nut trees, a 1 acre garden, Jersey and highland
cattle, goats and Tamworth pigs. We also use a Belgian draft horse. We are committed
to seed saving and are growing mostly heirlooms varieties. We are looking for
people interested in an apprenticeship program. There is a 50$ weekly stipend,
as for lodging we have 2 nice bedrooms in the garage-office and we are starting
to build a couple 12'x12' tree houses with woodstove... They should be ready
in January...We have somebody that prepares organic meals each day and most
of the produces are coming from the garden. We have our own meat, milk, butter
and sometime cheese if we get extra time. Please note that drugs and cigarettes
