Trading Work for Accommodation & Food

As we expand our options to create an organic growing farm, there is all the usual work to be done.
As they say, it ain't rocket science, but it's simple work that needs to be done well.
Things like digging trenches, replanting trees, some light construction (simple cabins), some solar construction, some earth moving and landscaping, trail clearing and maintenance, and tasks like that.

Our initial accommodation is a large yurt-like tent for basic residence; as participants work on building cabins, those taking part in the work will move into a small cabin as it is completed, and continue working on other projects under way at our location.

There are two options for those wishing to trade work for accommodation & food:

1) For 30 hours work a week (6 hrs/day X 5 days) you
    get NO-CHARGE accommodation & 2 meals a day.

2) For two 8-hour days/week, you have 5 free days to
    pursue other things (part time work, whatever) and
    pay only $200/month.

The "Trading Work for Accommodation & Food" option works well for two general groups of people.

The first group are folks like WWOOFERS, HelpXers, and the like, who are travelling the world on a budget, and don't mind helping out with trading some work time in exchange for a safe place to stay and a couple meals a day.

The second group are folks who may have temporarily hit a hard time and are at risk of becoming homeless, or already are. Being able to trade work for secure accommodation gives a person a chance to relax a bit, stop worrying about being left to the streets, and build up their resources before resuming their life anew.
