Description
We have a five acre farm overlooking Skaha lake. We grow organically assorted vegetables and peaches, apples and apricots for our own consumption. We do not sell our produce. Our farm is right on the lake so while the summers are hot and we work hard the lake is always there to cool off in. You are welcome to stay in our small guest house, trailer, tent, or tipi. We have a beautiful outdoor shower overlooking the lake and a path that leads right down to the lake for swimming. We practice natural building so have a cob oven for making amazing pizzas and bread, and several of our buildings are made of straw bale or cob. We welcome anyone interested in building projects, gardening and growing food for ourselves. We are looking to host guests who like to help out and experience farm life. The best season to visit is from May to October.

Help
If you are interested in small scale farming and learning about how to create your own backyard garden or small farm then we can teach you about what we have learned in our process. We also practice natural building and can show how to collect materials for building projects. We are looking for keen people who can help us on the farm while learning about how to set up their own systems when they go back home.
