Work at Splitrock

Farm-Stay and Off-Site Position Descriptions

About Splitrock

Splitrock Farm & Retreat is a 101-acre working farm that offers camping, wellness, education, and outdoor gathering spaces in De Luz Heights, five miles from downtown Fallbrook, California. The land feels both rugged and restorative: huge granite outcroppings, unique groves and orchards, intermixed farm animal and wildlife habitat, trails, and sweeping views stretching from the Pacific Ocean horizon past the La Jolla foothills to the 11,000ft mountains.

Our purpose is to help people reconnect—with nature, food, movement, creativity, community, and themselves. Splitrock brings that purpose to life through five interconnected areas: Farm, Camp, Fitness, Education, and Community. Together, they include regenerative land stewardship, animal care, camping and glamping, wellness activities, farm education, creative experiences, and community gatherings.

Splitrock is an ever-evolving, hands-on place. We are looking for capable, self-directed people who enjoy contributing their skills, solving real problems, caring for land and guests, and helping build something meaningful.

What Farm-Stayers Can Expect

Most farm-stay positions involve approximately 8 hours of contribution per week in exchange for an on-site place to live. Role-specific terms are stated in each description and may differ for leadership, paid, or revenue-sharing positions.

On-Site Living

We prefer farm-stayers who bring their own van, skoolie, travel trailer, or RV. Most sites are off-grid and do not include conventional utility hookups. A 13-foot bell tent may be available as temporary accommodation for up to two weeks while a work-stayer establishes their own setup.

In return, farm-stayers have the opportunity to live in a remarkable natural setting with:

  • A mild De Luz Heights microclimate
  • Easy access to downtown Fallbrook and the broader Southern California region
  • More than six miles of walking and biking trails
  • Some of the best views of Southern California
  • Farm animals, orchards, native habitat, and abundant space to grow
  • Hot showers, toilets, communal areas, and meditation and gathering spaces
  • A community of farmers, hosts, creators, entrepreneurs, and off-grid residents

Community and Learning

When space is available, farm-stayers may participate at no charge in many Splitrock wellness and fitness offerings, such as yoga, sound baths, breathwork, and guided hikes. They may also attend or volunteer at select live music, educational, and community gatherings.

Farm-stayers can gain practical experience in regenerative agriculture, animal husbandry, off-grid living, hospitality, wellness activities, content creation, entrepreneurship, and community building.

Additional Income and Enterprise Opportunities

Depending on the role, skills, demand, and prior approval, opportunities may include campsite and glamping turnovers, Camp Shop shifts, activity support, classes, workshops, guided experiences, farm products, creative work, or an independently operated business that complements Splitrock. Any other paid work or revenue-sharing arrangement must be agreed upon separately in advance. Bring your experience, ideas, and passions! We love to partner and support entrepreneurial ventures with farm-stayers.

Shared Expectations for All On-Site Roles

Every on-site resident and team member is expected to:

  • Communicate reliably and follow through on agreed responsibilities.
  • Treat animals, guests, neighbors, coworkers, and the land with respect.
  • Keep personal and shared areas safe, orderly, and sanitary.
  • Follow fire-safety, parking, noise, waste, animal, tool, and property rules.
  • Avoid representing, advertising, selling, or committing Splitrock to an activity without authorization.
  • Report hazards, injuries, animal concerns, guest incidents, and property damage promptly.
  • Understand that Splitrock is a rural, evolving environment where weather, animals, events, and seasonal priorities can change the day’s work.
  • Contribute to a culture that is welcoming, resourceful, collaborative, and grounded in care for the land.

Specific duties, schedules, housing terms, paid rates, commissions, reimbursements, and revenue shares should be confirmed in the applicable written agreement before the position begins.

Stipend: $500 per month, plus approved opportunities for additional paid work

The Role

The Camp Host Leader manages the people, systems, communications, and standards behind Splitrock’s campground operation. The Leader recruits and coordinates a team of approximately two to eight Camp Hosts, ensures guest needs are covered, keeps information current, and helps Splitrock consistently deliver a safe, organized, and memorable stay.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Recruit, orient, train, schedule, and support the Camp Host team.

  • Help protect Splitrock’s guest ratings by setting clear standards and addressing recurring operational problems.

Schedule and Response Expectations

The Camp Host Leader may set their own schedule for most administrative work as long as deadlines and coverage requirements are met. Guest messages occur throughout the day and usually require brief responses. On-site or urgent guest needs should receive prompt attention; routine non-urgent inquiries should be answered as soon as practical and within 24 hours.

The role is not automatically required to cover routine Camp Host shifts. When the Leader accepts separately approved campsite or glamping turnover work, it is paid at $25 per hour. Camp Shop shifts, event support, maintenance, youth programs, and other operational work may be paid at the applicable agreed rate.

Farm Positions

Goat-preneur — Goat Herd Manager & Agritourism Entrepreneur

Arrangement: On-site goat-care exchange plus entrepreneurial revenue sharing
Commitment: Live on-site with hands-on daily responsibility for the herd
Housing: Beautiful off-grid space for a bring-your-own RV; no conventional hookups
Compensation: The RV site is exchanged for agreed goat care; business income is shared under a separate written agreement

The Opportunity

Splitrock is seeking an experienced, energetic Goat-preneur to care for our herd of 100+ goats and build a group of complementary goat-based enterprises. This is not a conventional hourly farm job. It is an opportunity for someone who combines animal husbandry with sales, operations, creativity, and the desire to grow a business.

Splitrock provides the herd, farm setting, an on-site RV space, access to agreed infrastructure and equipment, brand support, and connection to a growing agritourism audience. The Goat-preneur brings the consistent care, expertise, initiative, customer development, and day-to-day execution.

Goat-Based Enterprises

Splitrock’s Kiddie Klean-Up

Develop a recognizable local service using goats for targeted grazing, weed abatement, vegetation management, and fire-fuel reduction. A short school bus is intended to transport appropriate groups of goat “kids” to farms, orchards, vineyards, private properties, and other suitable sites.

The Goat-preneur will market and schedule jobs, assess sites, coordinate agreements, transport animals, establish approved temporary containment, shepherd and monitor the herd, protect animal welfare, and return the goats safely to Splitrock. All operations must meet applicable licensing, insurance, transportation, animal-welfare, land-use, and safety requirements.

Goat Dairy and Farm Products

Develop legally compliant value-added products that may include milk, cheese and other dairy foods, soap, lotion, and related farm goods. The Goat-preneur may make approved products directly or develop relationships with qualified processors, makers, and sales partners. No product may be offered until applicable food-safety, dairy, labeling, processing, and sales requirements are confirmed.

Goat Encounters and Agritourism

Create, promote, schedule, and host memorable animal experiences such as:

  • Critter Camp Petting Zoo
  • Private baby-goat cuddle parties
  • Baby-goat yoga
  • Children’s farm experiences and birthday parties
  • Educational goat encounters
  • Mobile appearances
  • Seasonal kidding experiences
  • Farm tours and demonstrations

Livestock Sales

Support responsible livestock sales by identifying suitable animals, maintaining accurate herd and breeding records, communicating honestly with prospective buyers, and coordinating health, transfer, payment, and pickup requirements.

Herd Management Responsibilities

The goats come first. The Goat-preneur will be the primary on-site manager responsible for the herd’s daily health, safety, and welfare.

  • Feed, graze, water, and rotate goats according to an approved herd plan.
  • Monitor condition, behavior, parasites, injuries, illness, and nutrition.
  • Milk appropriate dairy goats and maintain sanitary handling practices.
  • Plan or assist with breeding, pregnancy monitoring, kidding, newborn care, and socialization.
  • Maintain accurate herd, breeding, health, treatment, birth, death, and sales records.
  • Maintain pens, shelters, gates, fencing, grazing areas, and approved temporary electric fencing.
  • Secure goats appropriately at night and during weather, birth, illness, or predator risks.
  • Coordinate veterinary care and notify ownership promptly of significant health or welfare concerns.
  • Maintain a healthy, manageable herd size through responsible breeding and sales.
  • Prepare, load, transport, contain, and monitor goats safely for off-site work and encounters.
  • Keep all animal and visitor areas clean, functional, humane, and presentation-ready.

Housing and Revenue Structure

Because the herd requires consistent care, the Goat-preneur must live at Splitrock in an RV suitable for off-grid conditions. The RV site has no conventional hookups. Site rent is exchanged for the specific goat-care duties defined in a written agreement.

The entrepreneurial ventures are separate from the housing-for-caretaking exchange. After agreed direct expenses, the bulk of eligible business revenue is intended to go to the Goat-preneur, with a smaller agreed portion paid to Splitrock for the herd, land, approved equipment and infrastructure, brand, audience, and business platform. Exact ownership, expenses, pricing authority, revenue definitions, percentages, records, insurance, and termination terms will be established in writing before operations begin.

Ideal Candidate

  • Has meaningful experience with goats, livestock, dairy, grazing, ranching, or herd management.
  • Can take daily responsibility for a large herd and recognize when professional veterinary help is needed.
  • Combines practical farm skills with entrepreneurship, sales, scheduling, and customer service.
  • Enjoys hosting families, children, landowners, and farm visitors.
  • Can safely drive the intended vehicle and meet all applicable licensing and insurance requirements.
  • Is physically capable of farm work and comfortable shepherding goats away from the farm.
  • Keeps strong records, communicates clearly, and solves problems without constant supervision.
  • Is comfortable living off-grid and wants to build a durable enterprise, not simply work a shift.

Why This Role Is Different

Splitrock already has one of the hardest assets for a goat enterprise to assemble: a herd of more than 100 goats. We are looking for someone who sees both the responsibility and the possibility in that herd—healthy animals first, followed by thoughtful businesses in grazing, products, encounters, education, and livestock.

If you would rather build a goat business than simply take a farm job, we would like to meet you.

They may also assist with approved farm-product work, livestock preparation, or campsite and glamping turnovers, which are paid at $25 per hour. Training, supervision, and the scope and rates for other additional work will be agreed upon before it is performed.

Ideal Candidate

  • Genuinely enjoys animals and treats them with patience, confidence, and respect.
  • Has livestock, stable, shelter, veterinary-assistant, or farm experience; strong learners may also be considered.
