If it was just me and my dog, I'd apply! But little things like husband, kids, house, job, insurance, eating, warm house, keep me here... for now! Gee, if one of us did it, we could learn to be like Sylvia! Did you read that book (Sylvia's Farm)? I did and drooled so bad I almost had to wear a bib!
you'd be making a nothing and although the sills would be good if they are so annal about you even inquiring about the job then there is likley to be problems later. It didn't say anything about putting you up or anything either which could man you go crazy in debt having to work for them. Suck a rooneies. Ya. As much as it'd be acool to do that offer is real sad.
There's no way I would go live with a stranger to be their free labor, because unless you really know who you'll be working for that's what it would amount to. I believe I live in the same county as this farm, but I don't know who or exactly where it is. The ad does say room & board is provided, but I don't "get" the $25.00 a week thing. Where did they come up with that? Unfortunately I have known business people in the area that are flaky as hell and have no objection to exploiting others to promote their own over-inflated self-interests. (Not all the local businesses are like that, there are some great ones too) I'm very curious about this place now.
And does it come with a copy of "The Catskills on $3.57 a day?" Geez...
