Summer Youth Opportunities.
Want sun, work & something real?

Come to the land.
Wake early. Work hard. Laugh often.
Get dirt under your nails and sky in your eyes.

This isn’t a job, it’s an invitation.
To sweat with friends.
To find something steady in yourself.

We’re looking for youth who don’t mind being challenged, who want more than just cash (though there’s that too).

Curious? Good.
We’re Hiring:

2025: The Year of the Wood Snake

In Tibetan astrology, the Snake is not loud or forceful. It perceives, waits, and acts with precision. It is a year of transformation beneath the surface, where deep intelligence and adaptability are the keys to success.

2025 is forecasted to bring unexpected opportunities that require patience and insight rather than force. Just as the snake sheds its skin, this is a time to release the past and step into a more refined way of being. Wisdom will not be found in struggle, but in seeing clearly and moving decisively
