I live on a small 3 acre hobby farm next door to my sister 5 minutes outside of Nelson BC. We are always looking for help developing the many small living quarters on the land. Plumbing, carpentry, landscaping and strong bodies are always needed. I can accommodate a wide variety cooking styles and diets. Large loft sleeping space in the main house, insulated quansy outbuilding with king bed as well as two other out rooms are available for stay. I am a certified yoga instructor and masseuse currently studying classical flute and Spanish.
