Description
Our farm sanctuary is located in the beautiful north Okanagan Valley. We are seeking an individual (single bed) who loves animals and willing to help us feed and care for them in exchange for a private room.
This is a great learning opportunity for young people who are considering a hobby farm in the future with a focus on self-sustainability. Helpers must be prepared to eat plant-based only and able to cook on their own.
Daily tasks include animal care and feeding, garden prep and maintenance, planting and propagating.
