Description
We have a small hobby farm in the beautiful interior of BC. We have 6 horses, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, 2 house cats and a super cute Puli dog! We have a modest home on a beautiful riverfront property. The area has lots of trails, lakes, mountains and a fantastic ski hill 45 min away. We have one super cool, talented 13 year old daughter and sometimes we also have foster children. We always have something on the go!

We welcome travelers as part of our family and include them in our life and adventures. Travelers can learn about husbandry skills, food preservation and farm life . Outdoor adventures in the area include horseback riding, horse training, hiking, camping, swimming, fishing, skiing, snowshoeing.
Help
There is always plenty of chores to do here on the farm, so skills can be varied. Chores typically would include help with the horses and animals, cleaning pens, feeding, fencing, mowing lawns, weeding and gardening. Indoor chores could include cleaning, organizing, cooking, painting. Carpentry or mechanical skills can be helpful if you have them as we have various small and large engines that always need something. Experienced horse riders can work on training dressage, jumping and games horses.
