Description
Vogt Meadows is a 40 acre hobby farm with gardens located at scenic Lewes Lake, 50km south of Whitehorse. We are a retired couple with a young dog called Rosie. We're originally from Switzerland and arrived in the Yukon 30 years ago. We enjoy the outdoors and growing our own food. We love to hunt and cook wild meats and our vegetables, as well as bake our own breads. We enjoy meeting people from around the world.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We treasure our rural Yukon life style, living sustainably in the pristine North. We live very close to nature and coexist with all kinds of wild critters like bears, moose, caribou, wolves, eagles etc. We often encounter them out and about and really enjoy living in this wild country. If you're keen to learn about this lifestyle, this is the right place for you.
Help
We currently have room for Workawayers from May 25th to June 13th. We have a construction project going during that time (siding our home with cedar wood with the help of a rented lift) and work in our garden and small outside projects around the property. If you’re looking for a place in the Yukon during this time and are interested in staying with us please let us know, we’d be happy to host you.
If you're are interested in helping us plant/maintain our gardens/greenhouse and hayfields we can offer access to any kind of outdoor adventure and recreation equipment like canoes, fishing gear, snowmobiles, snowshoes, wall-tents in return. We're also planning to build a cabin on a remote property at Bennett Lake. Lots of fun projects to join.
