Description
I welcome you to share the beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains surrounding my farm. I am a small scale pesticide free , natural method grower of strawberries, raspberries currants & apples & pears . Something is always needing weeding, picking, painting , gathering etc. as there's no end to the many tasks required to keep things in order;-when not working there are 5 national & 9 provincial parks to explore as well as the extensive # of local lakes for swimming & fishing Not to forget the longest stretch of wetlands along the Columbia River right here in the "neighborhood"!
A bus runs from Calgary to/ from Golden 50 k north of the farm. -

The gardens are needing weeding & organizing & planting in May & June as a rule. Currants ,raspberry & strawberry picking begins in July & goes through late September as we have everbearing strawberries & raspberries There are endless indoor & outdoor tasks & repairs to get done. Someone with brush clearing experience & ability to run a Kubota BX series tractor would be amazing!

What else ...
There are often guests on the property so generally keep "living noise" respectful. We are pet and smoke free in buildings and a drug free property entirely
We are in the middle of 9 National & Provincial parks so there is no end to activity When able I am happy to take workers to town or other places I need to go to. The summer is busy for so I do not get out to tour much but can sometimes find others who invite our workers along -
