    Description

    Welcome to our homestead! We're a family of four, with 14 month old twin boys and a rescue pup - Rubi-Parsley! We live on a small acreage in the Hawaii of the North aka the Comox Valley, British Columbia. We’ve made our dreams a reality on our beautiful land by growing a food forest, implementing the permaculture ways and have just added bees and chickens too!

    If you love to cook, have experience caring for children and are a self starter, we’d love to host you! Bryant and I both work mostly from home but have very flexible schedules and have many exciting homesteading projects on the go, so there will be no shortage of learning opportunities if that interests you.

    In your time off, there are beautiful camping sites nearby, gorgeous trails and no shortage of ocean and mountain views - we’re about 25 mins from the river crab and can see mount Washington from the house.
