Description
We are a family and have a little farm-in-the-making in a remote setting next to the Kispiox River in Northern BC. There are also two lakes nearby. We live off-grid in a little wooden house.
There is always lots to do here and because we just recently started we have a lot of ongoing projects: Processing firewood and logs, building up a garden, building a little cabin and a sauna, getting the chicken barn ready, homeschooling and playing with our kids, cooking healthy food, keeping our house clean, doing renovations, repairing machines and much more. Every skill will find its fun here. And in your spare time? You can go fishing, do cross country skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, swimming, observe wildlife, visit our friends, enjoy a bonfire, the stars and the silence.
Individuals and families are very welcome. We have a bedroom with two single bed, in summer you also can put your tent. for camping, due to limited space in the house.Types of help and learning opportunities

We share our bathroom with workawayers.What else ...
There is a rough road going to our place. We can pick you up in the next town if necessary but appreciate if you come by car, at least to our parking lot before the rough trail section starts. In winter we are only accessible via snowmobile.
We live remote and in a natural setting that requires good physical and mental health conditions.
We have limited electricity because we're hooked up to solar panels.A little more information

There is a wi-fi connection (satellite internet) but no office space. I work remotely too, doing content writing. I'd say the connection is not good enough for high data usage. We have limited power supply because we are hooked up to solar panels.
