Internship at Guemes North Homestead
with Ian Woofenden
I periodically offer internships to a few special people who want to learn from me and the projects at my off-grid homestead.
With more than 50 years with tools in my hands and more than 35 years off-grid, I have a lot to share.
And the homestead has endless work to be done. So if you’re looking to learn about this lifestyle by doing and contributing, consider spending some time with me.
