Intern/Volunteer Positions 2010

 

We are building Permaculture Eco-Retreat Center.

 

The plan is to have 5 log cabins for people to come and stay in, a log “eldhus" (firehouse is direct translation) where cooking can be done inside, a log sauna house for cleaning oneself both physically and mentally- at the end of a long day. We are searching for an old log barn to move, that could be used for storage and can also be used for indoor group meetings, if the weather dictates.

We are looking for hard working , community minded individuals who are looking to expand their life experiences with something different and important. If you would like to be a part of the exceptional Experience and see it from the beginning - then this is for you! !

We have spent the last few years in preparation , including clearing a garden area, where we continue plant every summer. We have built a solar panel / meat smoker outside kitchen, outdoor cooking place as well as an outhouse. We will be putting up our 6 meter (20 foot) tipi this summer!

 

What to Expect

Permaculture - We will be starting to extensively permaculture our land. We will be planting fruit trees, food plant as well as medicinal plants.

 

Building raised garden bed for planting. Other building projects as well.

We are trying to purchase an over 100 year old barn that had been taken down over 40 years ago, this will be set up by the garden.

Building a “slogbod” or 3-sided shelter and a timbered bench (see pictures below) - these will be by the lake for grilling.

Clearing of brush for trails to access the lake as well as the rich raspberry patches spread across the property.

Wood cutting and splitting.

Other items to be done as well!!

 

 

You will cook your own food over an open fire.

What we can offer this year is the opportunity to experience the beginning of something special in the making. Lots of good work, good learning and a life experience never to forget!

The cost to the Internship is 300USD/Month (appx 225EUR) This is a food cost only. Experience and fun are FREE!

You will need to provide your own your own tent, sleeping bag, etc.

The Intern/Volunteers will be responsible for cooking themselves - as a group ,but don't worry it will be fun!

Positions are from June 1to the end of August. Come for a week or all summer, your choice.
