    Descrição

    Homesteading. We have a full little farm so that we can design a life we want & produce more than half of our food. We share knowledge and experiences. We work hard and eat well.

    Looking for hard working, self-motivated and flexible, curious helpers who love to learn while getting dirty.

    Demands and tasks change seasonally - now seeking:
    -Animal Care
    -Gardening & planting
    -Manual labour to manage compost
    -Preparing & piling Firewood (with splitter)
    -Re-roofing a rabbit houses and a chicken coop (4-6ft high)
    -House cleaning
    -General maintenance & construction
    -Log Cabin finishing
    *Everyone helps with food prep & kitchen clean-up as part of living together*

    Open to 10 day stays if you have related experience.
    Ideal time commitment is 3 weeks to 1 month.
    Longer stays for Farmstead Internships available (geared to those with a focus on gardening or building).

    We are in our 8th year farming!!
    We are former travellers setting roots - into a beautiful 18 acres of land, with animals, a creative farmhouse, nestled by a little river, and 50 mins. to Ottawa Canada.

    About us:
    Elmir works over full time hours so is not always available for farm duties. He is very passionate about all projects future and present. He is skilled at and enjoys streamlining processes.
    Brandie is the Queen B. She lives this space, crafting, building permaculture garden's, preserving food, strolling with the animals. She works from home & cares for many.
    Éamon (16) is busy with highschool & home on weekends. He is a very caring, enthusiastic, and engaged human that we love dearly.
    Zion (23) is married to Caelah. They live an hour away. He is a kind fun human with great ingenuity and resourcefulness. He was the main motivator to get this farm + we are grateful.

    This space will be used for gatherings. Agricultural education through oldschool farm experience, stargazing, art classes, prenatal education, weekend picnics, nature / farm classes, creating traditional gourmet food and farm fresh goodies.

    Bring bug spray and a headlight.
    Visitors must have own medical insurance and sign a waiver since farm life has risks.
    You are responsible for your own health and wellbeing. :)

    How to get here: There is no public transit from Ottawa to our farm. Some people find creative ways to get to us. If you would rather ask us for a lift, $20 covers the cost of gas + we can usually find a mutual moment to do this trip.

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    We host in a community style. Our experiences run deep from our travels and guests can expect to be made part of the family. We can lead you to both city tourist sites (Ottawa) and country life of our area. Brandie and the boys are bilingual French / English but we speak English at home. We often have people over. There are strong creative juices to soak in and lots of crafts to try. Never boring - the days go by so fast.

  • Algo mais...

    Algo mais...

    Our home is under an hour from downtown Ottawa. We may go to the city a couple times a week. We can pick our guests up form Aylmer Quebec or Ottawa as there is no public transit here ($20 helps with gas). At the farm, expect a slower life pace that somehow is always in motion. Let some time slide while enjoying breakfast, petting a donkey, resting in the tree house, visiting a nearby beach on the Ottawa River.. We can hike Gatineau Park, visit other farms..
