You should be interested in permaculture, physically fit and comfortable with a shovel and a wheelbarrow. WE can accept couples as we have a private room in the house with it’s own shower and bathroom. We can accommodate vegan and vegetarian diets as well as meat eaters (assuming you like local grass feed beef or local free range chicken). If you are interested I would encourage you to view our profile on wwoofusa.org and see the type of experience we offer. Please feel free to email me at brian@bodhifarms.com. Please note we are located in Las Vegas New Mexico, not Las Vegas Nevada. This internship will provide room and board but is otherwise unpaid. We can certainly pick you up from Albuquerque or Santa Fe and Amtrak actually runs through Vegas.
