Greetings, I'm 6-7, retired and a steward/host of a truly unique 7 acre oceanfront property in Otter Rock that comes with provenance. My Covid pursuit of gardening has grown into a study in sustainability, permaculture and vegetarian diets. This season I need help especially with likely surgery: sowing, potting, up-potting, weeding, composting, raising, nurturing, pruning, harvesting, prepping, cooking, pickling, canning, eating; and beyond that I want to Learn and do it all. Do you?
We share the property with ducks, chickens, 3 dogs (including two rowdy youngsters), a 5 Star vacation home I host/service, friends and family visitors. Lots to do. I always have projects in mind. This season is all about Water, pond building and coastal foraging. We eat seafood. Ideally, we're looking for a knowledgeable creative energetic resident/tenant to collaborate on the gardens' upkeep, development (we eat 5% or less) and assist with the poultry and doggies. Must Love Dogs is no understatement.
Lastly, beyond great ideas, my partner and I are looking for a trusted relationship (tenant or some hybrid) with someone who can responsibly hold down the fort so we can depart from time-to-time. Compensation opportunities exist here at Gull Rock Gardens as do different living quarters but for the most part, this is a lifestyle choice for one interested in all the property and location has to offer - Indian & Gov't history, land, gardens, location, 24/7 Dope Creek (named after Chief Dope Spencer), woods, trails, views, peace, safety and privacy.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful residency, a spring/summer of permaculture fun and surf, a 'last stop' sanctuary, creating a sanctuary, growth through work, or an opportunity to create or teach, I offer a healing, green and growing opening to join Gull Rock Gardens and have a good productive time and live well doing it. Consider this "post-before-process"; Idk the details, never done a hybrid or work exchange as it would depend on our lifestyles but I do know Spring is around the corner and there's lots to do. I'd like to offer Free Veggie Starts to the community on the Flower Moon weekend in May.
Do you have social media, design or whimsical skills? I'm Not a puter guy. this post took me 3 hours and my responses will be delayed.
