Description

We are Monika and Fred and have recently joined forces in an effort to develop an organic farm/tourist destination in the wilderness of the West Chilcotin. Two dogs and a horse are enjoying life with us. The farm is very isolated in a small valley and borders the large Tweedsmuir Provincial Park. We are non-smokers nearing our 60th birthdays. We are developing 5 acres for organic seed potato and vegetable production and have built a greenhouse into the mountain side for vegetables requiring more heat. One log cabin is already nearly finished.
We like to share our life out here with people who are interested in an experience of living in and with nature and yet enjoy some of nowadays comforts.
The opportunities for work experience and wilderness adventure are endless.
