Description
Hello there. We are a family running a certified organic farm in the heart of the Okanagan valley in Kelowna BC. We are always expanding our garden, building sheds, fences and raising animals for food, manure and eggs. We also make a lot of preserved food such as canning, fermenting and working with herbs.
If you have carpentry experience that would be very useful. We have all sorts of odd jobs so if you like diversity in your experience we certainly can offer that.
We are an English and German speaking home, always interested in learning other folk's culture and respecting all fellow beings.
We have a camper for a comfortable private stay, with an outdoor kitchen, shower, washer and dryer facility close by.
Lunch and dinner is provided and breakfast will be self made with ingredients provided since we all get up at different times.
Our goal is to spread our knowledge of organic farming and agriculture to those who wish to perhaps start their own farm day or simply want to explore what farming looks like.
Cheers

It was the perfect balance between sharing quality moments with them and having our time.
The work asked wasn't so hard and we did so… read more
