Description
Hi there, We are Bob and La Vonne and live on a 5 acre farm. We enjoy growing lavender and have a huge garden that always needs tending. As well we have a small flock of chickens and bees . We live in the small beach town of Gibsons BC located 1 hour from Vancouver.
There are many fun things to do here and if you like the water and nature it is an exceptional place. We are truly interested in cultural exchanges and are eager to share our knowledge and our culture. Tasks would include general farm maintenance, weeding, property upkeep and seasonal harvesting.
We do not derive an income from our farm. The lavender field is not for profit. In addition, to large garden we have a small flock of chickens and a couple of bee hives all for personal use.
We would love to host you here on our farm and exchange cultural experiences. -
