***We are now booking dates to host Workaway friends in 2026! Beginning mid March to early November. Please send a message to Krysta, our Workaway Coordinator, if you’re interested in joining us this spring, summer or fall. We look forward to hearing from you!***
We are a small community of people, living on a beautiful 18 acre, farm property on Salt Spring Island, BC. We are growing an abundance of fruit, nuts and vegetables. We are committed to sustainability and we take great pride in stewarding the land.
Your main host will be Freyja, the owner of the farm, along with Joy, our Garden Manager and Krysta, our Workaway Coordinator. Our community members are actively involved during your stay with us also.
This hobby farm has extensive apple orchards and we have been working on establishing a permaculture, food forest system by planting a wide variety of fruit and nut trees, bushes, shrubs, berries, herbs and vegetable gardens, all interspersed.
We have an abundance of berries and vegetables that we harvest in the summer and apples in late fall.Some of the first trees we planted are now coming to fruition, yet it is a life long project!
Your stay with us, will truly be a unique Salt Spring experience! Please send us a message with any questions and if you wish to join us in 2026!

Arbeit
In the summer we will be busy with the cherry and blueberry season and the garden, which provides us an abundance of veggies!
There is a lot of planting, harvesting and processing that happens on the farm 8 months of the year. We are also busy weeding, building/ improving infrastructure, eating lots greens and continuing to work on our hydroponic greenhouse.
We welcome help with building projects. Whether you have experience or are eager to learn!
The work trade is 25 hours per week (Monday to Friday) and includes healthy food staples and access to farm grown produce.
Most of the work is quite physical, so please come ready to put those muscles to use!
Please note: we are unable to accommodate dogs at this time.

Was noch ...
There are hiking and running trails close to the farm and we are biking distance from the ocean. In the summer, it is fun to swim in our pond, the ocean or in St. Mary’s Lake, that is nearby.
Salt Spring Island is a vibrant community with cafes, events, dances, potlucks, ceremonies, markets, forests and beaches to enjoy!
It’s a magical island, just waiting to be explored by curious travelers and nature lovers.
