Description
We are a couple (we have 5 kids but they are currently studying at university) 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, chop and stack wood 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 couples as well, as we have had many lovely experiences hosting 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.
May and June are the most magical months here. Everything is flowering and we start to eat from the garden - first lettuce and other greens, then berries (strawberries start in June) and then more and more different types of vegetables and fruit.

Roberts Creek is a wonderful community nestled between the ocean and the mountains, with many gardening and outdoor enthusiasts, as well as artists and musicians. Our family is musically active in the community. I speak French, English, Spanish and German and am an avid gardener. Our goal for our place is to be a haven for plants and animals, as well as a cultural hub, with occasional garden concerts.
