    ❤️We REALLY need someone to help us out soon!

    We are excited to be included in the 2024 National Solar Homes Tour and we need help right now getting the place ready!!!

    We have one guest here and space for another person or couple right now. Could this be YOU? There is so much to learn here!


    And further out in time …
    We have a guest space for two in January 2025. We have an opening for one guest February 1 through March 1.

    Can you weed? or use a hammer? or wield a broom? or plant a seed? or feed a duck or a fish? Can you sort things? or paint a sign? Can you lime plaster a concrete wall? Or organize a closet?

    YOU are cheerful, positive, outgoing, interested in learning about living sustainably and doing what you can to slow the climate catastrophe!

    Our Permaculture Paradise has been a steady project over 30 years, our participation in the annual National Solar Homes Tour for over 25 years. The land for the intentional community we live in was bought in 1975, we moved here in 1987.
    .
    We have been with WorkAway for a couple years now and have many years of hosting through another popular platform.
    .
    We have helped people aspiring to serve in the PEACE CORPS and we are a “soft-landing” for folks after serving in PEACE CORPS.
    .
    We continue to work on being the future we aspire to live in.
    .
    Our basic requirements are non-negotiable: Guests must be non-smokers and be Covid vaccinated and boosted, have health insurance and be LGBTQNAIS plus friendly .

    We are waiting for you.

    Many guests like to practice English with us. We’re mostly outside gardening. However, We’d appreciate some help with plumbing an out-door shower. And if you’re plumbing adept, we eventually want to build a 2nd bathroom next to the guest apartment.
    .
    We spend our days feeding, weeding, mulching & harvesting our veggies, fruits and medicinal plants, processing medicinal plants into plant medicines, installing various solar (PV) applications for ourselves and designing PV systems for others.

    Currently, we’re building and wiring a Solar PV barn for ourselves. And ALL the garden tasks that go with Summer morphing into Autumn. We’ll be getting ready for the big Solar Homes Tour soon. We’d welcome you to help and learn along with us.

    Alabama will never be the same for you.

    We’re both intermediate level Spanish/ español proficient. We are good to practice English or Spanish with you. I (Sara) am also keen to learn sign language and also polish up my very rusty Hebrew. I am interested in Japanese culture.
