Description
Welcome to our Family Homestead!
We have a wonderful 6 month old baby boy and two small dogs that need some extra play time.
My husband and I bought a beautiful piece of land overlooking the Peace River valley in rural northern Alberta a few years ago. There are always other projects on the go such as our blank canvas of a yard site to work with so will spend time raising baby chicks, canning, planting wildflowers, growing a garden, building a chicken coop, collecting driftwood for an artistic arch, hanging patio lights, watering trees, and everything else with establishing a homestead. There are also the basic support of meal preparation and light housekeeping maintenance.
The support for our family and work from this project will be carried on forever more!

Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
- We are looking for someone who loves babies and dogs! That is essential. Playing and holding with the baby, taking the dogs for walks, and playing fetch.
- In the growing season we would also be a good fit if you are someone who loves plants and playing in the dirt! So many of the projects will involve many aspects of landscaping.
- Woodworkers are especially welcome! We have all the tools to create some artistic masterpieces and small renovation projects.
- Animal lovers! In the spring we will be getting some baby chicks and kittens for the homestead.
