Beschreibung
We are a family of 6 living on a small acreage in the Cowichan Valley.
In the winter months we stay busy cooking and filling the freezers, organizing the indoor spaces in the house and the barn, driving kids to their activities and daily household duties like cooking and cleaning.
In the spring we will be busy getting ready to enjoy the summer months ahead by getting the gardens and outdoors spaces ready, swimming in our pool and rivers and ocean nearby and hiking as we work and build our little heaven on earth.
Our children’s ages range from 14 to 7 and we are looking for multiple people to help out with facilitating everyday life with us and create some projects we have in mind. Many hands make light work and we appreciate new cultural dynamics integrated into our children's lives .
We love to spend our free time dirt biking, quading, side by siding, boating or on our jetskis and many other fun out door activities!
The fullness of our plate requires some additional help and good energy so we have more time to explore, play and enjoy life. Ideally looking for someone long term.

We live in paradise surrounded by nature, a fully edible property we are creating trails for walking and biking, have four amazing and fun kids, and so much to explore in the countryside and city. We will be beginning a season of harvest and preservation of food, planning and building more spaces in and around the property. We can also help you with your English! Please let us know what’s important to your experience while you are here! You can literally be at the ocean, river and lake all in the same afternoon:)

Arbeit
We are looking for a team of people to help focus on transforming, establishing and maintaining many areas of our property. Everything to do with house hold upkeep, meal prep, landscaping, light construction, watering, harvesting and preserving from the gardens, canning and freezing, we have chickens and collect eggs daily.
We are just a family with an acreage, not a business. We are looking for support in setting up our land, growing and harvesting food, etc basic farm stay activities. We do not function as a business.
Our daughter Alivia(12) rides and competes in Equestrian and requires someone to drive her and ideally we are looking for someone with horse experience to assist her with tacking up, etc. Our son Jacob (14) will be competing in dirt bike races this spring/summer and we would love for someone to support him with learning the mechanics and skills that go along with the sport. We have extra dirt bikes and endless trails out our back yard he rides nearly everyday. Julia (10) and Mindy (7) have taken up dance lessons and will begin singing and piano in the new year. They also love to sew, paint and do crafts in the art room at the barn.
Right now we are looking for someone who:
- has a passion for cooking and would like to create meals with our family.
-is a skilled builder to help build decks, treehouses and other building projects on our property.
-has a passion for cleaning and organizing spaces in our home, tidying up each day.
-to teach us Spanish!
If someone was good at painting murals we have a large space that could use a mural or 2 :)

Was noch ...
Our location is unique and really captivates the feeling of living on a more rural island and still being closely connected to larger cities to the north and south of us. Duncan is full of beautiful beaches on the rivers, lakes and oceans all within a 10 minute drive and you will have a spare vehicle for your use if you have a drivers license. We have lots of fun summer markets, festivals, and activities to experience. We have dirt bikes, quads, side by side, surf boat, jeep, and jet skis. We love to spend our free time enjoying the outdoors on our toys as much as we can and would love to share that experience with you.

This was my fourth Workaway experience, and in the past, I usually got bored within a month. Initially, I planned to stay here for just a month, but I ended up staying for three—and that was the longest I could stay before heading off to my next adventure.

My name is Justus and I spent my time on Vancouver Island with this great family.
At the beginning I had planned to stay only two weeks but my opinion has changed very quickly which led to the fact that I stayed almost two months.
I felt very comfortable and it was never boring.
The property and the exact location is just beautiful.
