Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There is an abundance of recreational opportunities available nearby including swimming in the Slocan River, and biking or walking on the Slocan Valley Rail Trail. There are cafes in Winlaw, and a popular beach on the lake in Slocan. We see wildlife on the farm daily, especially wild turkeys and deer. For those with back country experience, Valhalla Provincial Park is nearby. There are several hot springs within a couple hours drive in Ainsworth and Nakusp. Volunteers participate in all aspects of farm life and will learn whatever we are doing during their visit, which could include gardening, animal care, construction, fencing, irrigation, mechanical repairs, and more.
