Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Welcoming strangers and being a welcome stranger. sometimes. summer is incredible busy, so if you want to couchwoof between october and april (especially cygnet folk fest time) contact me 3 weeks in advance. we like couchwoofers to stay for at least 2 weeks (all being well) so we have a chance to get to know each other.

Interests

we are working on turning a 144 acre farm into an educational camp type facility for kids and adults to come and learn about sustainable agriculture, living, organic farming, eating food from the property. we want to learn more about keyline systems, compost tea, cell grazing, permaculture, and are open to learn about all sorts of ways to garden and farm in a way we like :) come build gardens!
