Here is a write up on our farm! Email is: Creekviewridge@gmail.com Greetings from Minerva! Situated in the rolling hills of northeastern Ohio, Minerva is a small village with brick streets and friendly folk. We recently moved to the area to become stewards of a secluded 18-acre farm complete with a pond, a wide and peaceful stream and woods just outside of town. We are spending this first year transforming the land from a monocrop to an organic biodynamic system, working toward organic certification over the next four years. We have hopes of shiitake mushroom cultivation and an orchard on our hillside in the coming months. Beehives are in production with of an acre in perennials and annuals to be distributed in a small CSA in North Canton, Ohio. Length of stay for interns is a 1 month minimum, 4 month maximum (negotiable). We have many a construction project to work on including a walk-in cooler, chicken coop and fencing. So, construction experience and know-how are very much desired. The ideal guest will bring a willingness to work, ability to work independently and an eagerness to learn. We are very willing to teach and no experience is necessary. 20-30 hours of work a week. Accommodations are a private room in our cute old farmhouse (one room available), a shared bathroom and shared living space. All meals included. We are willing to pick you up at the airport or bus stop in Akron/Cleveland/Canton and are accepting Interns year-round except for December and January. We only speak English, will accommodate all diets and are not accepting pets (we already have a dog!). As for nightlife and crazy fun activities, there are some local barsmost of which we have not been to yet. It is definitely small town life, but we love meeting new people and will do our best to entertain you with lively conversation! Canton has some fun stuff to do and is about forty minutes away. If you feel like a hike, Pittsburgh is 1.5 hours to the east. If you like a young atmosphere run by two friends who were recent WWOOFers, Minerva may be the place for you. We are looking for interns!

I have been a school teacher in NY and now a poet/writer. I have done wwoofing in different countries and now I am seeking a farm that offers a longer term stay in exchange for work on the farm. I have three cats and they will be coming with me so if this is not possible there is no need to write back . In light of this I am looking for a place that can offer me a private cottage , apt ,or cabin for trade for my hours there . I am also open to paying full or partial rent for the right place . If any of this sounds like you , feel free to write me back and we can speak further. I have attached some of my references for some of what I do . Thanks Betina Hello ,
