Description
Hello, we are a family that live on 4 acres 15 minutes outside of Nelson BC. There are projects such as harvesting, fixing up our chicken coop, fences, wood gathering, preparing for winter. We have a beautiful property and gardens and would like to share our paradise with some enthusiastic and willing workers. Carpentry or previous handy man/woman skills preferred. You will have your own rustic, off grid cabin to stay in.We love skiing in the winter and spending time at beaches and outside in the summer. Nelson is a sweet Mountain town with plenty of culture and diversity.
