Serenety Farm, Pinetta, FL

Location: Pinetta, FL, United States

We are a 35 acre transitioning to organic family farm. We have dairy goats, free-range chickens, horses, fruit trees, pastures and a vegetable garden. We offer room and board in exchange for an average of 35 hours of work a week. Projects and duties include: field and pasture work, fencing, building shelters, vegetable gardening, working with the goats and chickens, tree trimming, canning, making cheese, soaps, lotions, sales at farmer's markets. This is often hard but fun work, where the work hours are determined by the task and may include night work during kidding season. The suggested length of stay is 4 weeks minimum, full season stay is preferred, shorter stays may be acceptable with more experienced or repeat workers. We accept workers year round because the climate is mild and work continues throughout the year. A fully furnished lot with bathroom and a camper are available for wwoofers including access to wireless and laundry facilities. Kitchen facilities are shared with the farm family and dinners are usually eaten together. As meals are included, help with preparation and clean-up is a must. Able to accommodate vegetarians. We expect reliability and a strong work ethic. Absolutely no illegal drugs (zero tolerance), no smoking, moderate alcohol consumption ok. Pets on a case by case basis, no large dogs or children as we have Livestock Guardian Dogs. For our peace of mind we might ask for references. We speak English and German. Valdosta is 20 miles and Tallahassee is 50 miles. No public transit available, transportation is a must, but we have scooters available for shorter local trips. Plenty of recreation opportunities available along the rivers and natural forests for hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, canoeing and horseback riding.
