Team Kinlands
We believe there are ways to live and harvest that benefit both humankind and the Earth. Through careful observation and a willingness to be led by the land, The Kinlands team is rediscovering those ways. Our minds are ever curious and open, our hearts grounded in the soul of this place. We find satisfaction in the work that keeps us close to the simple beauty of life.
We’re in search of kindred spirits who revere the Earth as teacher and are excited to extend its lessons to our visitors — to build the bones of an enchanting experience in which people of every age can learn from the natural world directly. Each person on our team is an essential partner in creating The Kinlands, remembering and sharing humankind’s collective belonging to Earth as we bloom, grow, harvest, and rest with the seasons.
The work itself is both challenging and fulfilling. You must be open minded, flexible, tough, motivated, and able to solve problems quickly (and at times creatively). Your heart must be fully invested in discovering what the Earth is asking from us at this time.
Because we are led by the land, your work here is unlikely to involve prescribed systems like growing certified-organic produce or homesteading. Our training is about remembering and practicing the forgotten language of life and spirit. In that sense, you’ll certainly experience growth and will likely come away with a clearer view of what it means to live in connection with the land.
We offer a very competitive compensation package as we have a deep interest in long-term teammates who are looking to expand and explore this world together. For the right person, this is the rare career position that can fulfill the heart and support you in abundance.
