Please join us for a volunteer work weekend at our new farm and community in Sandymush, NC — Spiral Mountain.

Spiral Mountain is a 34-acre farm with five cabins. We envision people living in community together here and growing much of our own food, including both annual vegetables and permaculture perennials. We also envision growing lots of native plants, whether edible, medicinal, or just beautiful. And, of course, we envision growing a field of English lavender.

During this work weekend, we will transplant several hundred five-year-old lavender plants into the field at Spiral Mountain.

If you are interested in being involved with the goings-on at Spiral Mountain in some capacity, this work weekend would be a great opportunity for everyone to get to know each other. We invite you to join us, whether it’s just for a day, for several days and nights, or for the whole weekend.

We have roughly 12 beds we can offer volunteers in cabins with electricity, plumbing, kitchens, and bathrooms. These cabins are fancy (by my standards). If you’d like a bed, please say so when you RSPV. We’ll reserve beds for people on a first come first serve basis. Volunteers are also welcome to camp on the land if you’d prefer.

Also, we’ll feed you! Three square meals a day. (If you’d like to bring your own snacks or other foodstuffs to share, please do. I always like to bring my own snacks. I get it.)

*Please be aware that Spiral Mountain has lots of bugs, bees, ticks, dogs, goats, sheep, cows, horses, ducks, chickens, turkeys, pigs, etc., either on site or nearby. We also have a no-chemical policy — even for bees. Which means there are bees nests that we simply respect. If this doesn’t work for you, then volunteering here probably isn’t a good fit.

Thank you, friends! I look forward to seeing you on Spiral Mountain!

Directions: Spiral Mountain is at the very end of Randall Cove Rd. in Leicester, NC. We’re not on google maps, yet. The road is a small, twisty dirt road. Keep going until you think you must have surely gone too far, and then keep going some more. Once you turn onto Surrett Cove Rd., follow the signs for “Randall Glen” up the hill. Randall Glen is our closest neighbor (and they are on Google maps), but they are not affiliated with Spiral Mountain. You’ll pass through Randall Glen to get here, and sometimes, you’ll need to navigate through the farm animals (including Pyrenees dogs) carefully. If you get lost along the way, many of us do not have cell service on the mountaintop, but you can try calling Puma at 336-977-1679. Thank y’all! We can’t wait to see you!
