I am looking for an intern who will work alongside me on the construction of a small 2 story cob cottage. The first floor is almost complete and as the work on the second floor begins there is the opportunity for in depth learning about cob building as we build up the walls, incorporate straw bales, windows, shelving, second story flooring, a small balcony, and then build a living roof. Meals and campsite will be provided in exchange for 25 hours of work each week.
Also, if there is an interest in learning about human scale organic vegetable production, perennial gardening systems, or wild edible and mushroom foraging, there is plenty of that going on here that you can take part in. There are also plans in the works for other building projects, as we will be building an outdoor kitchen and an outhouse. So if you have a passion for natural building there are opportunities here for learning/experimentation.
Contact me to learn more and chat about building!
