Descripción
We are a family of 6 who loves Jesus. We have 350 acres of bush that will hopefully someday become a self sufficient farm.
Spring is here! With the melting snow we have many projects to complete. Installing wood siding on the guest cabin (your accommodations), tiding the yard, shingling a few small outbuildings, planting, some stone work and more! Our dairy cow will freshen in June, you will have opportunity to learn about natural dairy products if that is interesting to you.
Summer work projects include hatching chicks, carpentry, fencing, gardening, harvesting and preserving, milking the cow, mixing and fermenting food for our chickens and piglets. Also a chance to work with horses if you are the right fit! Many diverse projects available.
We are a remote homestead and can offer wilderness adventure! We would love to show our Canadian hospitality to anyone in need of a place to stay on their travels! Our homestead journey began almost seven years ago when we purchased land from C.N rail which was used as a ballast pit in the early 1900's

We love conversations during our meals and we love strong coffee! These are great opportunities to share stories and past experiences, what better time than when satisfying your appetite! We also usually have a large family meal with our extended family at least once a week. Our most abundant resource here is fresh water, there are so many beautiful lakes to visit, fish, swim, or just sit and enjoy. Must love nature! We are living off grid with the intent of still enjoying the use of appliances (like dishwasher, washer and dryer etc.) its all a balance.

We have something for all abilities! From simple everyday farm chores to milling up lumber with the sawmill we have a large diversity of work available. If you're into cooking and housekeeping you can do that or if you'd rather be outdoors that's fine too! Its best to do what you're good at :) Our expectations will vary depending on your experience and enthusiasm. There's a lot of straightforward tasks to do but if you're bored with that stuff there's more that requires experience and knowledge!

Alojamiento
Your home will be a BEAUTIFUL little 16x24 cabin with a loft. The cabin small but clean and relaxing, with a great view of the pond out the window! It is a beautiful and tranquil hideaway!!! There is a little deck attached with two chairs to enjoy your morning coffee/tea or juice.
Your cabin has a full kitchen (a small one) a shower, twin and queen beds, please note a loft ladder is needed to access the queen. The toilet is a nearby outhouse.

We are fairly remote here, no public transport so you would need a vehicle to get here, alternatively there is a bus that travels to the nearest town (Atikokan) where we can pick up/drop off, we could also arrange to pick up at the nearest city (Thunder Bay) if we have advance notice. There is a lot of good fishing and hiking here, trails to explore. We have a bounty of wildlife! There are several abandoned mine sites that are interesting to visit, and Quetico Provincial park is a short drive away. Our nearby community is the canoeing capital of Canada, and as so there are many lakes and rivers to enjoy! I enjoy horseback riding, walks through the forest, sewing, baking and much more. We are both outdoors people and our little ones like to be out in the fresh air! You would be welcome to join us on our outings to town to buy supplies, check the mail, attend church, volunteer, etc.

We have plenty of space for campers, but power is limited as we are off grid, so you need to be mindful of that.

We loved our time with you. The cabin is super cozy and the location absolutely gorgeous (we saw moose 😍). The work wasn't too stressful as everyone is very flexible.

We were at Veronique's parents' home for three weeks. We quickly felt at home with the family who welcomed us so kindly. The whole family shared their life, their activities (lots of snowmobile outings, fire on the lake, many meals,...). We are not very good in… read more
