    Hi! We are a couple who’ve lived on this land for a little over four years! We keep chickens for eggs and pigs for meat. Peacock because it makes this place feel a little less closer to paradise! We are both carpenters. We enjoy beers on the weekends with friends often. We love to whitewater canoe. Anyways that’s a little about us…

    Beautiful getaway, just outside Westport Ontario. We have 3 pigs, too many chickens to count, golden pheasants, a lovely farm dog and a peacock!
    We live in a small timber-frame house my partner built (we are both carpenters). We have a large trailer for our guest.
    Would love a hand with some chores around the farm. Mostly just feeding the animals, putting them in at night. Maybe some help on some carpentry projects around the house/farm.
    We won’t provide food generally, some dinners absolutely though. Don’t expect much help. Couple hours a day.
    Beautiful place to explore! Beach a short drive down the road. Westport is a beautiful small town. Good food/live music. Perth is also not too far from us.
    Anyways don’t hesitate if you have more questions!
