Beschreibung
I live on a farm on lovely Wolfe Island, near Kingston, Ontario. I have 4 horses and a cat. I also board several horses and. last year have started a small market garden that offers a local CSA and also serves to teach two young farmers who want to learn about ecological growing, food security and sustainability.This year I am looking for help around the farm, and with the market garden.
My farm is just a few kilometres from the village of Marysville which has a lively music scene as well as some basic shops and restaurants. Big Sandy Bay is also nearby with several kilometres of beautiful beach and great swimming. As well we are a short ferry ride (free) to the city of Kingston which has movies, restaurants, music and shopping as well as many interesting historic sites.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

I live in a century stone farm house on 50 acres of land. I can use help around the barn and gardens. This year I will need help putting maintaining my flower beds, working in the market garden and putting away firewood for the winter.
I ask for 4-5 hours of work per day, 4-5 days per week.Gesprochene Sprachen

Wolfe Island is wonderful for cycling as well as for walking along the shores of Lake Ontario at Big Sandy Bay. The ferry dock is 2 km from the farm. I go to Kingston fairly regularly and would also provide use of a bicycle. I work off the farm a few days per week but my schedule is quite flexible. I enjoy meeting new people and live a pretty relaxed life, though I generally get up early, so if you are a night owl, we might not be a good match!

I’ve spent my first experience with workaway here and I had a great time! Janette and everyone else who worked on the farm or who I met on the island was nothing but welcoming and nice.
