Details
Description
We are developing a family farm. We live on a farm property south of Whitehorse, off the grid, just solar power and no running water. We live a simple life style (cabins only), no much modern comfort. You should enjoy physical tasks outside and outdoor activities. We provide accommodation and good homemade food in exchange for 5 hours work on our farm 5 days a week. We have all meals together in our cabin and talk during eating about everything on our farm, projects and share ideas and thoughts. Workawayers become part of our daily live. Activities like canoeing, hiking, fishing and horseback riding are not for granted. It's a bonus for hard working volunteers. To join us on trips is mostly possible, but it's not work, more a benefit during your time off to enjoy the Yukon wilderness and to give you some good experience in addition.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Like the remoteness, simple life with very few modern comfort. Enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking, fishing, and horseback riding. Learn more about your personal skills and yourself. We use mainly home grown products for all our food and helpers have the opportunity to learn how to cook and to bake beside their chores. Helpers can experience how to manage natural resources (solar power and carrying water out of a creek).
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We are looking for a helper to take care of our animals and property. To have some experience in gardening, farming and maintenance is helpful but not necessary. A good work ethic and focus on what needs to be done is way more important. Become part of a project.

I was there for 6 weeks and looked after the animals for 4 weeks by myself, therefore they showed me around the area and instructed me properly how to take care of all necessary things during the whole first week. (e.g. water supply/ cleaning… read more

thank you for the nice time that I could spend and share at your place. You both took always good care about me, I got the best meet and homemade good cocked food. I trained my muscles with peeling logs, helping with firewood and carried water for the horses. I enjoyed the remote, simple and quiet place. Thank you for… read more
