Description
We are a couple (we have 5 kids but they are currently studying at university and/or raising their families) on 6 acres of land, 4 of which are forest. We are musicians. Our place is beautiful and has 12 fruit trees, chickens, a creek and a pond and is in the wonderful community of Roberts Creek on the ocean, a 40 minute ferry ride from Vancouver. We are looking for someone with gardening experience and willing to garden and do various physical tasks on our large, beautiful property. Carpentry and/or cooking skills an asset as well. We have a beautiful private room with balcony available in our house. We welcome individuals or couples.
Robert’s Creek is absolutely beautiful, charming and vibrant, with a lot of artists and musicians and right on the ocean.
I really enjoy speaking French (I am francophone) and Spanish (fluent) as my husband is a unilingual anglophone.
Right now we are looking for people for the month of July. We need help with weeding, harvesting and watering and would love to host someone who likes to cook. There is a lot of music on the Sunshine Coast in the summer, including in our own beautiful garden.
We grow most of our own food and have incredible water from a well.

Charlotte was fun and hard-working. She baked bread and made delicious lasagna and lemon pie. She worked outside, even in the rain, but when it was raining hard, she found things to do inside. She was helpful and we had interesting conversations and played some fun games. We would highly recommend her to anyone.
