Details
Description
We are a family of 4 (2 parents, one 9 year old son and 89 year old Grandpa) living on a beautiful acreage about 15 km from Nelson, BC. We would love to play board games (if you like) and make tasty meals together! We love our acreage and large garden, but it can sometimes get overwhelming! We'd love some help with gardening, firewood, wood chipping, carpentry work, cooking, childcare, animal care and/or cleaning.

We live near Nelson, BC, which has a unique Kootenay culture. We also live rurally on a beautiful forested 4 acres. There are plenty of opportunities to hike, a disc golf course just down the road, and Taghum beach is a 10 minute drive away.

Help
We live on 4 acres and have a large garden. If you like gardening, we'd love some help, for example spreading wood chips and manure, weeding, or harvesting. We could also really use some help with building projects, such as building a woodshed or setting up a chicken run. We both work full time or close to full time hours. We generally need more help in May through October, although may have work for someone skilled in carpentry in the winter.
