  Description

  Recently bought the property and doing some projects over the next couple of years including, a green house, sauna, expanding the gardens/fields and other various projects. I enjoy gardening and have a little green house attached to the house, and larger garden beds outside with the staples. The egg birds are laying and love munching on bugs outside. I am hoping in the future to build a little barn and get some bigger live stock and expand the garden.
  I planted trees in British Columbia for years, enjoy being outside and good physical work. From this I also know a lot of good areas all over BC to go explore. I also taught math and science in high school in a previous life and really enjoyed my time there.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  A beautiful remote location in Chilcoton BC with great hiking trails, mountains and lakes nearby. The gardens consist of a variety of vegetables (potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, garlic, etc) and some fruit trees. Depending on the season there are meat birds and egg chickens. The area has old history as a trail connecting the Chilcton to the Bella Coola valley before the road was put in. You will be able to learn how to garden, help out with the chickens and take advantage of the many trails and lakes near by.
