Hello
I am looking for people who want to do short stays right now. Lots of gardening to do. Planting, making new beds, moving rocks branches and mulch. Also there’s always firewood! Taking care and moving the chickens. Hanging out with the cats. Basic construction would be a bonus. Or cleaning and cooking skills. And always time to enjoy life and go to the lake or hiking ect. I’m here! ask me for my number
I have travelled to Europe ( this housesitting and workaway in Hungary). I worked as a rafting guide kayak instructor for many years and spent a winter guiding in Australia. I thought id always be nomadic but I couldn’t give up the incredible deal I got by buying this small piece of land in 2008. I built my cabin first where I spent 2-3 years mostly living in full time until I semi finished the house in 2010. I would like to still travel but for now with the world where we are I feel strongly the land needs me here. To build biodiversity and share abundance with the local community. Where I live laws on animals ect are changing fast and I think it’s time to stand our ground and do what we believe in. It’s difficult getting older and still doing garden work for clients but being here full time is my goal. I work as a forest gardener on a 400 acre estate. It’s perfec really as it’s close by. But my homestead should be the focus. I just ordered more chickens. Jeff who is travelling Quebec on his bike with his dog have been here lately and have helped me a lot. New redoing of an chicken coop ect. Still lots to do. If you want to bé a part of the new earth drop by. Note; I eat local meat/eggs as a mainstay of my diet

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I live on 18 acres of wild old growth Laurentian forest about an hour from Montreal in Wentworth Nord. I love to teach about plants and the local forest animals and birds. I am also developing sylvopasture systems to one day have larger animals,like pigs and sheep/goats. I work with permaculture garden methods and after about ten years here it provides a good example of what it takes to start a homestead in the forest. Along with friends and family I built the house in 2010, and I am still clearing land.
