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 host individual clients and small groups here for educational and healing experiences with horses and often need help maintaining and repairing things on the farm.
This spring-summer we’d love some help with some small landscape projects, spring cleaning, basic farm chores life fencing, firewood and painting.
a self-starter attitude with an affinity for nature and animals is who would be a great fit.
There may be some opportunity to ride, or have a lesson on your day off - riding & horse handling isn’t the focus of the help we need on the farm. There are many amazing hikes and lakes very nearby and much to appreciate in this stunning area of B.C.
We have 3 puppies (a corgi, a jack Russel terrier, and a mini Aussie Shepard) 3 horses, an assortment of chickens.
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 or 2 friends travelling together.
We generally have breakfast and dinners together, lunch is self-serve. You’d have a private bathroom shared kitchen and a welcoming atmosphere.
As we are sharing our home, a mutually good fit is important, if you’re Interested in a 2-3 week stay between April - July, Let’s hope on a call and see if it’s a fit. Happy travels !
