  Beschreibung

  We pay cash. Must have drivers license. Our vegetarian/vegan family lives in the Okanagan Valley, in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. We sell Smoothies (drinks) out of concession trailers at Farmer Markets, and Special Events in nearby cities and towns throughout the Valley and have done so for 20 years. You will be working a 4-5 day weekend with 2- 3 days off during the week.
  We live in Coldstream, which is 10 minute drive to Vernon and 35 minute drive to Kelowna. We live on 5 acres with a gorgeous view of Lake Kalamalka which is listed as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world to visit from National Geographic.
  
  Our house consists of a commercial kitchen that has a large commercial blender and many chest freezers. We make all our Smoothies before events. We have a large two level home that includes a walkout basement which has huge windows, high ceilings with spectacular views.
  
  We are a friendly vegetarian /vegan family consisting of a husband and wife team who are seniors but young at heart. David enjoys selling Smoothies at Events from May to Oct and in the Fall/ winter/ Spring teaches meditation and Elizabeth is a vegetarian/ vegan chef who has had restaurants in Toronto and Vancouver. Our son Chandra and his partner Khyla have an apartment on the property and are actively involved with the Smoothie business.
  We have three friendly Doodle Dogs on the premise.
