Help around our home and land while experiencing rural life in Roberts creek, Canada

Details

• 

  Description

  We have a 5 acre section and also a tiny home on the property. We are not a designated farm. I have a small vegetable garden for home use, and lots of perennials. I also have fruit trees and berries. I will need help with general gardening chores, pruning, picking fruit, family dog walking, and general upkeep. My partner will be away for 3 months and it is difficult without help to maintain the property. We live in a rural area but near a thriving small town, on the Sunshine coast We are on a bus route. I have a farmstand which is open occasionally on the property where I sell preserves and flowers. I’m also a vendor at a local community market. Workawayers would not be involved in any sales.
