Hello all... I found this post on facebook a couple of days ago. It sounds fairly interesting for anyone in the zone or willing to go there...
Hope all of you are well!
Farming Manager Needed! Please Share where organic farming and permaculture people hang out!
Awesome, fun, business person who is also an experienced permaculture and self-sufficiency enthusiast needed to be Farming Manager at www.TheMonkeyFarm.org in Costa Rica. We are creating a monkey and wildlife rescue center and sustainable permaculture farm on 50 acres, ½ mile from the beach on the Northern Pacific Coast.
Live in the great outdoors, with volunteers from all over the world. Learn other languages, customs and cultures while sharing yours.
Explore Costa Rica on your days off with the awesome friends you will meet here. We have nearby beaches for snorkeling, diving, surfing, fishing, camping, spear fishing and swimming.
Excellent home cooked meals and rustic primitive housing provided (with outdoor jungle showers!), along with commission based pay, fast wi/fi and lots of hugs.
Results you will be responsible for producing are:
Coordinate volunteers to use permaculture methods to grow food to feed ourselves and our animals.
Create and execute a permaculture design for our farm, with the help of volunteers.
Oversee the volunteers’ care and maintenance of our existing and future permaculture systems.
Market and use volunteers to sell excess produce and products.
Develop new ways of utilizing our land for permaculture methods.
Market and sell rare tropical food plants.
Order seeds.
Farming Animals we currently have:
horses
goats (for milk and cheese)
sheep

Free range chickens, ducks, turkeys
Permaculture systems we currently have:

Although low paid (commission only) this is an incredible resume building opportunity for anyone working towards a career in permaculture design and maintenance of any type. You will have the experience of a lifetime, create lifelong relationships and love living here in paradise with us, your new adopted family.
