We are working on building an intensive cropping practice garden with minimal tilling and no added pesticide or chemical hopping to one day be certified organic, at this point it's still pretty small. We are following Quebecker Jean Martin Fortier teaching and are adapting it to our colder weather and shorter summer. While we are working on our project we will need help around the property.
DIY and building projects
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
We are located 2 hours north west of Edmonton Alberta, 3 hours from Jasper and about 6 hours from Banff, we could be the perfect start for you to come in Alberta to find jobs either in Jasper or Banff in the Tourism industry if this is what you are looking for. At this time we can only offer room and meals with the current world wide pandemic it slowed our project down a bit. My husband and I both speak French and English, we are open to exchange knowledge and share our homes to people that wishes to come over and give us a hand. We will help in every way we can to guide you to you next stop if you which to have a short stay with us, if you feel comfortable and enjoy our company as we enjoy yours then you will be more then welcome to stay longer.
For this summer there are still a lot of ground work that needs to be achieve in order for us to reach the next level. There will be fields to be cleaned of wood stick, rocks etc..., painting buildings, DIY projects and general interior and exterior maintenance around the house.
The help needed will be for non-profit projects and will not involve cultivation of any crops or livestock for sale.
Anyone that has knowledge in beneficial flowers would be greatly appreciated, we would like to work on some flower gardens around the propriety that could attract beneficial insects (this is not a must).
