    Description

    Hello, my name is Ryan and I have a hobby farm on Vancouver island at sproat lake. This is one of Canada’s cleanest lakes perfect for swimming and enjoying water sports and we are a stones throw from the waters edge. I require some help working in the garden and keeping the farm clean. Also I need help feeding the animals and some other work around the farm. I like to keep things chill so the work isn’t very intense but it is required most days.

    If you’re interested in helping please reach out. Thanks

    Vancouver island has recently been rated in the top 5 places to travel in the world. We are approximately 1.5hrs away from beautiful sand beaches that are some of the best surfing in Canada. The lake access is right across the road and it is a world class swimming and chilling lake. I will ensure that your time here is extremely positive and you will be sad to leave

    My farm is not for profit it is simply a sustainable living project. None of the food produced on the farm leaves the property and as long as you live on the property you can harvest as much food as they can eat.
