Description
Mark and Kathy Robbins are retired professionals who now grow pasture raised chickens and turkeys sold out of our farm store. Mark worked as an agrologist with the Ministry of Agriculture and Kathy taught kindergarten children. Our daughter Jill and daughter-in-law Jessica do the work involved in running the farm.
We need help maintaining the property ranging from cutting lawns to weed eating and painting. There are always small projects on the go.
We have hosted many international travelers and students over the years and enjoy lively discussions after dinner. We are active and enjoy teaching our guests how to play pickleball and card games such as crib. As well, we enjoy hiking, Sunday family dinners and going out to the movies!
We have a garden cottage in the middle of a large vegetable garden. There is a small kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living area as well as a large covered porch. -
