Description
The farm is always expanding toward a more self-sufficient lifestyle, will put in a forest garden this year as well as a pond and new garden beds. They will also be lot of harvests, transformation, cheese making, bread, soaps, and caring for the animals. Never time to be bored. If you want to have a taste of what farm life is, that is a place to be. Surround by the beautiful Rockies mountains, a great place to spend summer and learn the homesteading way.

Accommodation
You will stay in a clean trailer for sleeping. You will use the house bathroom for shower and will eat with us every meal. We are not strict but we don't eat that much meat and during summer we eat 85% raw food. But I am always flexible. I like if we share the cooking once in a while.
What else ...
There a the possibility during your time off to come hike with us, canoeing in some channel close to our place, take a bus to visit others town around, going to the lake with us or taking the bike and going to the river beach. That only if you don't have your car . If you have one, the mountains around are fabulous.
