    I am a scientist, author, grandmother, sometimes an activist and now starting a small market garden to increase food security on this beautiful island. I have lived in the wilderness for most of my life, but moved to this island with roads and a ferry.

    This island was settled by Finnish people and some of that heritage still exists, there is a museum. A nearby island connected by ferry is a First Nation community with a museum and strong traditions. Humpback whales are visible daily all summer and killer whales pass through.

    I am looking for a person/people who would enjoy helping me harvest the gardens for market and help with watering/weeding. I am looking for people who are kind, fair, careful and like to work.

    Alojamiento

    The accommodation is a tiny house built into a large truck. It is a beautiful space all natural wood, a tiny woodstove and a propane cookstove. The property is off grid (solar) so power use is limited, no hair dyers for example, but laptops are fine. The water supply is limited, showers are in town. Drinking water also comes from town, same as in the main house. There is an outhouse. The quarters are comfortable with a double bed, a sleeping loft, table and counters. There are lots of fresh vegetables available. This is a small island of about 700 residents. The town is 20 km away down a well maintained dirt road. There is a post office, a good small market, a cafe (only open for breakfast and lunch). There is a ferry that runs to the island every few hours that connects to Vancouver Island.
