Description
Hello we are a family of 4, we have a small family farm. I am a registered nurse and work full time in the community. My daughter Ashley is 23 and lives at home in our pool house, Ashley runs our small hobby farm and takes care of the children while i work. With the cost of groceries on the rise I try to be self reliant as much as possible. We have numerous fruit trees, a large garden as well we raise our own pigs for pork and meat birds. As you can imagine this is a lot of tasks and we would welcome the help, For fun we have a pool and hot tub as well as pond for swimming. We are in need of help caring for the animals, children, house, and small farm projects. If you have construction skills that is definitely a bonus.

Accommodation
I can provide a 2 bedroom self contained basement suite, Travelers will be on their own for lunch and breakfast however I will provide the food. For dinner work always then join us for a wholesome home cooked dinner. Some nights you may be on your own to cook your own dinner, or if you are able to cook dinner for the family then that is always a welcomed bonus. The basement suite is fully self contained travelers are more than welcome to come upstairs to join our family for socialization and a meal.
What else ...
Our home is always very busy, on your spare time on the farm you can spend time helping with the horses, trail riding, lounging pool side, soaking in the hot tub. Or perhaps you like more adrenaline my boys are always looking for someone to join them for a ride up the mountain. We have a side by side, dirt bike and quads and we love going out sight seeing. Our home backs onto hundred of acres of old logging roads so you can take off for a ride right from the house. Once you come home my kids are always super keen to have a fire and cook some hot dogs.
If you like fishing we have some of the worlds best, just down the road anglers come to fish our local river almost year Rond, you can also try your luck with catch and release from our own little pond on property.
If you want to venture further out Tofino is only 2 hour drive away and has some amazing beaches, surfing, whale watching, fishing charter plus more.
