I was there last weekend for a tour and just loved the land and getting to meet you all! What an amazing, magical place and what lovely people you all are! Thanks for the awesome tour and for letting us bask in your kindness and good cooking –and let’s not forget that great hammock. very sweet!

I absolutely loved the amazing vegetable and fruit gardens and I’m still counting all the butterflies I saw — so many different species!

Are you all planing a mushroom workshop soon, by any chance?

The love and respect you all have for the land is so felt — what a great example for all of us.

Muchas!

We have several staff positions that are generally seasonal (3 months at a time). These include head gardener and builders. Also, we have a couple of positions for elder care and inkeeper. The office manager position tends to be longer term depending on the needs of the organization. We also have a board of directors for the nonprofit (volunteer position). Currently, we don’t have an active internship program.

If you are into homesteading and have the wherewithal and funds to create your own space and place, we have a couple of options… the Land, a 40 acre tract across the creek where we accept homesteaders who are willing to commit to a one-year evaluation period with the option to buy land.

Another option is Ulinawi, a budding community adjacent to moonshadow.

thanks

Please consider coming to the next Tour day (check the Events Calendar on the front page). Another great time to visit is during the National Solar Tour in early October. Also, if you can spare a few days or a weekend, you might want to attend the Natural Building Workshop during September.

Regardless of when you choose to visit, you’ll get some great info about our passive solar designs and our photovoltaic installation. Some of our staff and residents are more knowledgeable than others: Bradley at Ulinawi is probably the most knowledgeable person you can speak with during late summer/fall 2008, as our other folks are quite busy with travel, work and festivals until early 2009.

We’ll be scheduling 2009 work days and workshops, and hope to see you soon!

I’m also an artist, and have added a link to my Cafepress site.

I’m fed up with paying out the keester for utilities, and want to build an off-grid solar powered cabin on my family’s land here in Coffee county, so hope you can put me in contact with folks who have the experience to do this!

Best Regards,

Will

Hope the rest for your vacation in the Rockies went well.
