  Beschreibung

  Hello and welcome. We are a family of 3, living off grid living about 10km upriver from Dawson City, in the old agricultural area called Sunnydale. Access is by boat over the Yukon River or by vehicle the Top of the World Hwy.
  
  We grow our own food, gather our firewood and berries and hunt for our own wild meat.
  
  We also keep 11 dogs, who act as pets and sled-dogs for transportation and adventure in winter.
  
  We have many DIY projects on the go, including a log addition to our current home, which we are looking for helpful and talented hands to come join and add their talents to the project!
  
  We have a nice size garden which provides enough food for our family and you too, but that is only possible if we all spend time and help out a little bit each day, including with planting, weeding, tilling and watering and loving the plants.
  
  Other projects include, brushing, painting, fencing and general property maintenance. And of course spending lots of time hanging, playing and working with the dogs is quite important as well too .
  
  Cooking skills and having the ability in taking the initiative is also an asset and important.
  We look forward to trying the foods from your culture as we will share ours!
  
  It's all about teamwork here!
  
  Contact us with your story and what you can add to ours.
  
  Thanks in advance for your interest.
