Description
Our names are Jess and Taylor and we own a flower farm in Qualicum Beach, British Columbia. Our farm sits on 18 acres in this beautiful part of Vancouver Island. We are a few minute drive from lakes, beaches and waterfalls. A flock of ducks and geese call our farm home as do our 3 dogs, Remy, Dahlia and Doug.
We have a small farm stand and various funky little vacation rentals. For this season we are looking for help with tasks around the farm - we promise you'll never get bored of one activity because the list never stops growing. From harvesting flowers, to basic carpentry, to animal care, to housekeeping we are looking for folks who like to do a little bit of everything.

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our farm is a few minutes by car to beautiful Qualicum Bay & Beach.
Spider Lake and Horne Lake are just around the corner.
Everyone who visits the farm will work beside us learning the ins and outs of flower farming on an agritourism property. We have guests visiting from all over the world and we get to share our joy of floriculture with them. Vancouver Island is such a special place that has so many opportunities to learn about and engage with nature. From taking our our paddle board to riding bikes through old growth forests, there is a wealth of activities that are at your finger tips!Host offers payment in line with the minimum wage
