  Beschreibung

  Hello!
  I'm a retired truck driver. I grew up in the suburbs of a major city but really my life should have started in the country! Country girl at heart. My husband is still behind the wheel after 38 years in the industry, though these days he mostly stays local. He comes from a dairy farm in a small rural community.
  We have both traveled almost every state and province in North America.
  We are proud grandparents to two very energetic grandsons, ages 2 1/2 and 5 1/2, who keep us active and bring endless joy to our lives.
  We love rural living, our hobby farm, and being part of a close-knit community.
  surrounded by rich history and culture, we enjoy exploring local historical sites and attending community events.
  Life on our farm is a little bit of everything. we raise beef cattle, chicken, and turkeys, while our horse and pony greet us each morning. A large vegetable garden helps keep our family fed, and we spend hours tending to it as well as our ever growing flower gardens. One of our favourite things about farm life is the peace and quiet- the songs of birds nesting in the mature trees around our 155 year old home and the simple beauty of country living.
  Family , farming, and community are at the heart of everything we do

  We have a lots of knowledge in farming, cooking, animal care but we are open to learning about different foods, different farming , gardening techniques and languages. If you have skills in carpentry, we are always grateful and willing to learn too.

  -we always have gardening work to be done like weeding and harvesting vegetables and herbs. In the autumn we will be preserving and freezing .
  - we are also needing help with putting up a green house.
  -tending the animals, minor repairs on fencing, some small construction of new stalls,
  -we will be putting hay up in our barn, it can be hard work but can also be fun if you encourage each other.
  - other possible volunteer tasks ,as I'm part of a committee that organizes a poker ride with horses for our local food banks . Food prep, set up of tents and tables, serving food, set of of prize tables...
  - when grandkids are here we may ask if you could entertain them while we tend to some farm chores but most of the time they help out in small ways and encourage them to help around the farm.
  -organizing and decluttering of the barn to prepare for a few renovation projects.
  - possible reorganizing kitchen...I'm usually to busy outside and would love if someone would help .
  We would love if you have skills you can share as well, we are always willing to learn ,

  Unterkunft

  You will have your own clean room with a queen sized bed. The bathrooms are shared and laundry facilities as well.
  I love cooking but you will be expected to help cook , meal prep and tidy the kitchen as farm life is team work. I myself am open and interested in learning different recipes and cooking. We are not vegan and not really interested in that . we can accomodate vegetarians
  We eat mostly from our farm or from local farms. That includes vegetables, beef, turkey chicken, lamb, pork, fish and eggs. We cook a lot of farm to table meals.

  Was noch ...

  When you have time off we can explore the community, visit local markets, if there is a local fair going on we can attend that or sit around and chat. We love playing cards!
  This is a rural (farm country) area so there is no public transportation . i do have a bicycle you may borrow or just ask me to drive with in reason. We are very open to exploring some of the small towns along the St.Lawrence Sea way. We would be happy to include you in the family day to day life
  
  We are non smokers . There is no smoking in the house, barn or around the grandkids.
