Help
We are currently looking for help for farm work. Preference will be given to candidates who have experience working in agriculture. Candidates coming from an ag school are a great fit for us. Also people who want to learn and work in our industry are ideal. We are looking for agriculture enthusiasts! At this time we are looking for someone for seeding and harvesting forage crops next spring.
We are a friendly family of 6, with a beef and dairy farm in Northern British Columbia. We have had great success with aupairs and are now looking to expand our search to welcome farm workers to stay with us. We are needing help mainly with our robotic milking barn chores, but also could hire someone with experience to help with raising calves. We are very willing to teach you new skills, but animal experience and a passion for agriculture is definitely a bonus!
