    Description

    We are located in the heart of the kootneys. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, hiking trails, and so much more
    My husband works at the mill, and I stay at home, looking after the wonderful hobby farm. I do have a rare autoimmune disease called Myasthenia Gravis, which some times hinders me from doing physical labor. But for the most part, I have it under control.
    We are both in our early 40's, have 4 children who are grown and come visit when they can. We love life, and are happy people who live as stress free as possible. We love gardening, hunting, fishing, animals, building things, making natural products, and living life to the fullest. We would prefer a couple if possible.

    Help

    We recently bought an 8 acre hobby farm. We would like help with the gardening, building the beds, weeding, watering, planting, and designing. Our long term goal is to make our lovely place into a off grid self sustainable sanctuary for many to enjoy. There is a lot of building, cleaning out bush, landscaping, and wood to gather.
