Description
Hi there, we are a couple who love animals, nature, and gathering people together for rest and play.
We have a 10-acre wellness farm in the warm
& welcoming Okanagan of BC, Canada. We offer personal development and healing retreats with horses and have vacation cottage rental & spa.
This spring 2024 we will be seeking farm help with some landscaping, fencing, and painting. We can always use help with barn chores and animal care so a self-starter attitude and an affinity for animals is what we're seeking.
There may be some opportunity to ride, or have a lesson on your day off - but riding & horse handling is NOT the focus of the help we are needing on the farm.
We have 3 puppies (a corgi, a jack Russel terrier, and a mini Aussie Shepard) 3 horses, an assortment of chickens, so animal love is sure helpful.
Also, we have a beautiful outdoor thermal spa - which we offer to our work away Guests after our day's work.
We have very comfortable accommodations for 2 in our shared farmhouse. Our set up works great for a couple of 2 friends travelling together.
We generally cook breakfast and dinner, lunch is self-serve. You’d have a private bathroom and a welcoming atmosphere.
