    Description

    A whole new season is starting 2024 and it is for real for us since our production is mainly in the greenhouse which we will be opening at the end of this week March17th. From that time onward we will have a very intensive period of working in the greenhouse transplanting plants. We will need people to do that work. Usually women are best suited for that type of work but a guy can come in very handy also moving plants around etc. etc.

    In late April and May, we will need help planting our vegetable gardens. If you are good at and like to cook that could be very helpful also. We have been taking volunteers with wwoof since 1998 but since there have been so many changes of directors I think wwoof Canada has lost our early records. We have no interest in driving our wwoofers like slaves and treat everyone who comes like members of the family. But at the same time we don't expect you to come and ask how many hours a day you want us to work and expect us to stick to a strict schedule. Some times we will need people to work more and sometimes less. We are very sociable people and have always gotten along really well with all of our wwoofers and many of them have become life long friends. We even hear from one Japanese woman who was our wwoofer back in 1998 regularly on Facebook. So if you want to have a good time and have the satisfaction of seeing things grow right before your eyes come and stay with us a while
