  Description

  We are Chris and Noelle. We live on a 50 acre farm with two children aged 5 and 3 and grandma. We have a dog named Juno, and some chickens. We are involved with many local community projects including the local Waldorf school, barter and trade system, environmental and social justice advocacy. We run a small garden for our own sustenance, have a number of fruit and nut trees, and support local community agriculture. We are renovating our barn for a space to do yoga and martial arts and we have plans to build a straw bale house on the property. We live 20 minutes from Georgain Bay where we are often sailing or swimming. We also do a lot of canoeing and backcountry camping. We have a 26ft (8m) camper with water and hydro for guests or alternatively guest bedrooms in the main house. We speak English, French, Spanish and a bit of Norwegian.
