Curly Goat Ranch is located in Prescott. The cross roads are Gurley and Overland. Close to Yavapai College, Best Western and the Veteran's Cemetary. In a perfect world I'd love to find someone who lives close.
The schedule is Monday and Thursday from 6 am to 11 am each week.
Winter start time shifts to 7 am as the days get shorter.
There's definitely the opportunity for more hours as my vision for the property comes together if that's something that you'd be interested in.
This would be a great opportunity for someone looking to learn and grow. We'll be setting up a commercial vermicomposting system for animal waste this year and will be planting out an orchard as well, among other things.
This position needs someone who enjoys animals, has a positive attitude and a handful of patience. It's a somewhat physically demanding position with some lifting.
A general overview is moving about 8 or 10 hay bales across the yard each week, with a dolly, they don't have to be lifted off the ground. They just get rolled to where they go. Some unloading of 50 lb feed bags when we restock feed monthly. General pen clean up which involves raking and dumping the material into the compost bins. Scrubbing water buckets. It would also include horse manure pick up and putting into piles. There are no horse stalls to muck. It could also include watering of fruit trees, setting up or watering new compost piles, fence repairs, etc
This is NOT a position for kids. I get asked this a lot so I'm just putting it out there from the beginning.
This is a long term position. I'm not looking for temporary help. I'd love to find someone who can grow with the property.
You can find Curly Goat Ranch on Facebook or also check out our website at www.curlygoatranch.com to learn more about who/what we are.
If you're interested please email me your resume and tell me a little about yourself and your experience. Not having experience is not a deal breaker if you're a good fit otherwise.
Please give me a week or so to respond. I'm taking a class next week but will be reviewing applications as time allows.
Thanks for your interest! :)
