    Description

    We are a living on our regenerative farm/homestead slowly creating community-living on 200 acres in the Gatineau Hills of Quebec in Canada. We have a regenerative garden/orchard, chickens and are building with local sustainable materials (clay straw, straw bale, wood). We love to live simply and connect with the land and its inhabitants. We are Workaway hosts for a few years now. We are driven by regenerating, sharing, learning and reciprocity to cocreate community and a healthier, more vibrant biodiversity on our cherished planet.

    We are in the early stages of developing a food forest/garden and need gardeners that are willing to help and learn. We are practicing salvage logging in the forest (non-living trees) and milling the wood to use on the land. Our neighbor has horses for logging and we also use our small tractor. We need help with maintenance and farm -related tasks , making firewood etc.
    We are hoping to connect with people that have some woodworking skills and are interested in timber framing and natural building.
