    Description

    I own a small sheep farm just outside of Kamloops, B.C. I work full time as an agriculture consultant and during the summer months I need additional help with irrigation, fencing, livestock management, gardening and weed control. I have three children, 19, 21 and 23 who have moved away and a common law partner who lives at the farm with me, but works full time off the farm. I have two bedrooms available for accommodation as well as a separate bathroom.
