Work usually starts at 9 o’clock in the morning. However, there are always different tasks throughout the day. Therefore, we are very flexible and it depends on your individual task, how exactly your working hours look like.

This is our second summer living on our property, and we are excited to assemble a dedicated team of individuals to collaborate on the transformative, establishment, and maintenance projects throughout our expansive grounds.
