  Beschreibung

  Located in the North Okanagan outside Vernon, BC, we are a large family on a farm with cows, dogs, pigs, chickens and other animals. We grow most of our own food. Water comes fresh and cold from our well, and we cook large meals for everyone to enjoy. Our happy children are homeschooled, while we all work on the farm and enjoy the Okanagan summers. We enjoy lots of Canadian wildlife in our area, including deer, moose, cougars, and bears. (don't worry, they don't bother people) In the evenings we like to play games, read, and listen to or play musical instruments, maybe enjoy a bonfire while the sun sets over the mountains. We are a safety conscious, family environment, so we are looking for folks who appreciate wholesome living, and love having guests!

Orchards abound with fresh apples and cherries, there are vehicles heading into town frequently who could offer transport for more fun activities available in the city.
