HI WORKAWAYERS,
I am looking for help on my 35 acre forested property. Preferably someone that would like to stay for a longer period of time. Not afraid to roll up his or her sleeves. Being able to work together but also independently. Right now I am finishing and preparing my place to rent out as a bnb and doing maintainance on my house and forest.
Also just starting to convert a 72 passenger bus into a motorhome and right now I need a skilled person to help me with that as well as gathering firewood.
Jobs may include cutting firewood, thinning the forest, cooking, cleaning, gardening, painting, building and general maintenance. I live in beautiful Procter, BC located 35 kilometers from Nelson, BC surrounded by mountains with a view of Kootenay lake. I like the outdoors, camping and campfires and relaxing on my patio enjoying the view. I go to Nelson about once a week and can give workawayers a ride and there is a bus to Nelson a few times a day leaving from the ferry 8 km away.
There is lots to see and do while you are not working like hiking, canoeing, swimming and relaxing on one of our beautiful beaches, hot springs and much more.
Work hours are relatively flexible and I expect around 5 hours for 5 days a week. If you are alone and would like some company to explore the area I would be happy to join you if time permits.
I feel that workaway should be a nice balance of work and holiday where both parties are happy.
Send me a message if you are interested or would like some more info.
Happy workawaying 😃👍

Rob

There are lots of fun things to do and see in the area like hotsprings, swimming in kootenay lake, hiking, biking, local markets, and visits to surrounding towns like Nelson and Kaslo.
Take a free ferry ride across kootenay lake and hike some beautiful trails.
There is public transportation to Nelson and I also regularly drive to the city of Nelson if you would like to go into town.
I would like to have workawayers for at least a week and longer if I have space and if we both like the way things are going.

We had a great 2 week experience staying with and working for Rob. The house is quite remote but in a very special location with an exceptionally beautiful view of Kootenay lake, surrounded by woods. The house itself is beautifully designed and our room was great too. We felt very comfortable and at home.
Rob is a super nice and easy going guy. We… read more

Maren and Matthias are great people to host. Matthias helped me to build a new woodshed. A project that had been on my list for a long time. And maren helped with gardening and cleaning.
Beside all that they did a lot of cooking. I enjoyed every meal and learned that a vegan diet can be very tasty and above all very healthy 👌
They are great… read more

We had a good time with Adam and Ashley, a fun and friendly couple. They helped us with a lot of different chores, baked bread and cooked some yummy meals for us. They like going out and explore and loved the Nelson area. We hope you will have some great adventures during the rest of your trip. All the best!

Jeremy was a great help, he stayed with us for 3 weeks and did not stop working! Getting lots of firewood, putting artificial rocks on the wall and doing all the grout! He is a very friendly and polite man and always in a good mood. We had some good nights with a campfire and a beer. Now he is on his way to explore the Rockies and enjoy BC. Safe… read more

We had the best time with Rob,Emmy and Anouk. This was our first workaway experience and we really hit the jackpot. We felt as though we were a part of the family. You will not find a more genuine bunch of people. The work was fun and rewarding. Highly recommend this workaway, Procter is a gem.

My time with Rob and Emmy was amazing. They have such a nice property and have taken such good care of the workawayers they were hosting. Their daughter Anouk is super nice too, and I could get along with them very well. They are a super nice, funny and kind hearted family and I hope to see them again someday!
