  Beschreibung

  We live in a rural area an hour north of the Spokane airport in WA. My name is Julie and my husband's name is Patrick. We have 3 daughters at home ages 4, 8, 12, and 2 sons ages , 15 and 17. The other residents currently include rabbits, a bunch of goats, cats, 3 dogs and a multiplying chicken flock. We are life learners / wild schoolers / TJed homeschoolers. Patrick works full time remotely.
  We live on a beautiful property on 20 acres that includes fields, forest and a picturesque creek that runs through the property. We especially love hosting Workawayers and gleaning from your experiences and interests! We learn so much from meeting people from all walks of life and benefit so much from the cultural exchange!
  We also welcome opportunities to learn about the Inland Pacific Northwest together when possible and are located in a great location with many wonderful places to explore nearby, especially since we are new to the area! We are very close to Northern Idaho, an hour from the Canadian border, an hour from the Spokane, WA airport and under 2 hrs. from Montana.

  Arbeit

  We would love to have help with setting up our homestead, especially growing food. Some current homestead projects include planting, butchering chickens, milking goats, improving our outdoor kitchen, cob work, rotating animals through paddocks, greenhouse maintenance and expanding the garden area. If there's lots of work in the garden to do here! There are also some cleaning tasks, home maintenance and random tasks that relate to having a big family, cooking, wildcrafting, gardening, farm work and sharing what you love with our children.
  
  When you introduce yourself, I would love to know what kind of work you prefer and what you want to learn more about. We are flexible and will love designing your experience so that it compliments your particular interests while also helping our household's various goals most of the time.

  Unterkunft

  If your stay is shorter than two weeks, we have room in the library that has attached bathroom. While staying in our home you will share our kitchen and living room area. The lighting in our living areas is very dim after the sun goes down to encourage natural circadian rhythm for our family, but how you light your own room is your choice. There is camping available near the creek during warmer months and use of small outdoor kitchen area. Another option is for you to bring your own trailer. We also have large daylight basement that is unfinished.
  We as a family rely heavily on natural immunity and are not concerned about socializing and close interaction, especially with those staying on our property.

  Our location is ideal for travelers who want easy access to outdoor recreation opportunities. We live 1 mile from a beautiful lake and 4 minutes from the Pend Orielle River! There are forest areas, hunting, fishing, lakes, trails. We are only 30 minutes to a ski resort and an hour from Silverwood Theme Park!
  
  We live along a highway outside of town along a beautiful country road. Take a day trip to Spokane, Collville, Coeur d'Alene, ID or Sandpoint, ID. by bus or car. Unless you are looking to use Uber or Lyft while in town we recommend renting a vehicle in order to take advantage of your stay out here. I can also drive you to the bus stop on occasion and take you on errands when we go.
  
  This is a perfect opportunity for friends traveling together, couples, and especially families because we live more remotely!
  
  Our daily life includes the children and attempting to keep things in order and feed people. We eat primarily organic, whole, local food in season that is fairly simple. We love eating food and herbs grown in our garden and eggs from our hens when they are not molting or too hot or cold. Our garden is a "learning garden" so it only supplements our diet, but some things are plentiful at times! Patrick is vegetarian aside from eggs and fish and the rest of us are omnivores who eat locally, raised humanely raised meat sparingly.
  
  I am often heading out for homeschool related activities, schooling, working around the property in the or spending time at the creek in the afternoon during the summer. Patrick has a very heavy workload but tries to join us in the evening and on the weekend when possible. When at home we are playing, learning, cleaning, and cooking for the most part. We often go camping when the weather is right and would love to have you join us if you are interested.
  
  At times we require a background check. We expect our guests to not smoke and drink near the house or take drugs. We personally abstain from alcohol and cigarettes and don't have them in our home but if you bring your own trailer or it remains at your campsite it is your choice. We live a busy, often crazy and fun life. Still, having dynamic and primarily extroverted children can be dramatic and wild at times! Come join the fun! We are especially excited about all the benefits that come from learning all about you, and your home. It's like traveling without going anywhere! We especially love hosting families which makes things even more exciting around here!
