  Description

  We are an almost retired couple living on 5 acres where we board 6 horses and have egg laying chickens. We are a very friendly and relaxed couple who love meeting new people. We hosted volunteers for many years and many Japanese people before that. We are vegetarian and provide very nutritious meals. We have a large, very friendly dog called Charlie. There is lots of help we could use. Mainly garden work, mulching, horse feeding, mucking out stalls and paddocks, collecting eggs, cleaning chicken houses. There is no transit near us however there is a bus from fort langley that can get you to vancouver or langley
