The compensation would include money, training, and possibly room and board, matched to your skill level, commitment, and the quality and quantity of work done.
The work touches on many aspects of running a small business and ecological living. It would include an unusually broad set of tasks. We are looking for people with a solid core of existing skills, but this is also a great opportunity to learn develop these skills in more depth or learn others.

Our renovated 1920 summer cabin on a quarter acre features intensive edible landscaping with 40 varieties of fruit trees,vegetable garden, solar hot water, solar space heating, and a wide variety of energy and water conserving features, with more constantly being added. There is a fully equipped carpentry/masonry/wood/bicycle workshop, and a fully equipped electronic office. There is a nice room and place to camp outside. This is a highly sought after place to live. We have an outdoor bathing garden, and a wild swimming hole nearby. When we're not working we're generally swimming, drumming, or dancing.
