Beschreibung
Please join us this summer for a unique and memorable farm experience!
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 commited to sustainability and 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 various other community members. When you reach out, you’ll be connecting with our Workaway Coordinator, Krysta.
This hobby farm has extensive apple orchards and we are 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 now have an abundance of berries and vegetables that we are harvesting, with apples coming soon. Some of the first trees we planted are now coming to fruition, yet it is a life long project!
We look forward to hearing from you!

Arbeit
Summer 2025 is here!
The blueberry season has begun and the garden is providing an abundance of veggies already! So there is a lot of harvesting and processing happening on the farm. We are also busy planting, weeding, eating lots greens and continuing to work on our hydroponic greenhouse.
We welcome help with building projects also. 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.

Unterkunft
We offer a few small cozy cabins and a camperized school bus, with a wood stove.
You will have access to a shared, farm kitchen in the main house, composting outhouses, warm outdoor shower and laundry.
We also have a swimming pond, for those hot summer days and a sauna, for the cold fall days.
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.

When we arrived it was after Freya and David's wedding, so we didn't get to meet them, maybe someday in the future!
Even so, we loved meeting other residents and other helpers.
