Description
We are a family of four spread across North America at the moment. My name is Anne and I hold down the fort in Pincher Creek at the family cattle ranch. We would love to have you join us in our latest venture of repairing and outfitting a workshop/rental unit.. There will be plenty of time to explore our gorgeous community and we will put you up in style!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As my projects are spread through Alberta and British Columbia there will be the opportunity to travel to Calgary, Alberta and Nelson B.C. and explore the wilds of southern Alberta and British Columbia. You can learn of the area's history, practice the language, partake in many outdoor activities and enjoy local culture and arts. You will benefit from learning about building a new business, designing boats and fly fishing. I hope that you enjoy variety!

Help
We will need help cleaning, painting, various building tasks, driving and cooking. If you have experience building boats you will focus on that otherwise you will help me as part of the crew building the workshop and the rental unit. Some of the help will be outside and some inside.
There are many farmer's markets nearby and we eat as much organic food as we can find. You will be fed well and also help with the shopping and cooking. -

Accommodation
We live in a 4 bedroom house nestled in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies just 10 minutes away from the town of Pincher Creek- You will have a private bedroom and bath. The kitchen and living area are shared. We have a car to lend you for local travel. We are building a deck this summer so that will add to the amenities.
