Thank you so much - for the comment, for the consideration, and the advice! I will begin to blog more about this, I have taken lots of pictures and we are actually making progress nearing completion now!

Breaking the ice with this post is a good psychological step for me - the cat is out of the bag now - and I want to share lots of lessons.

Yes, there is no place near us here that I know of that abides by wwoofing standards, we are much more marginal...I remember the first time I tried to have someone picking coffee to 'pay' for their room and board. They didn't harvest enough to pay for 20 minutes of a local worker 😂 Thankfully this life is a mostly enjoyable learning experience.
