Animals – feeding, watering, petting, breeding, cleaning, harvesting manures, egg collection, pen improvements, butchering (rare & optional).

Electrical

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
Capable, independent people with a stable core and ability to work under pressure. This is a fast paced environment and everyone here must share cooking, cleaning, and farm activities. This is not glamorous work. Communal homesteading and farming takes a lot of physical and mental endurance. You’ve been warned!

Work days generally run from 8am – 6pm, five days on, two days off.
You must announce your intended days off to the group to ensure there are no egregious scheduling snafus. No one will schedule your days off for you. Please take your days off regularly – we live in a beautiful valley with lots to see and do.

Interning (one month to one year): If you are interested in a long-term stay, please send us a resume, and a cover letter explaining your motivation for working with us. We will schedule a call with you, and move on from there.

Work days begin at 9am and end around 6pm.
Breakfast from 8-9 w/ morning meeting.
Lunch around noon.
Dinner after 5pm.

CRMPI has thrived for more than three decades due to dedicated volunteers like you, thank you!

Select short term volunteers will be accepted during the summer from May – September.
