One of us is a carpenter and the other a retired biologist. Two grown children not living at home but may be home for short stays. We have 2 border collies that work on the farm so you must like dogs. This is a small family farm on 26 acres. We enjoy meeting and working with helpers from different countries and we try to make your stay work for both of us. Although we are not vegetarians or other specialty diets we have no problem hosting one. One family member is gluten free. No perfumes or scents please as one member of the family has a sensitivity.
One family member speaks German but ability to communicate in basic English a must for the safety of the animals. We appreciate if you are able to work with us and independently if needed. Also must be a non smoker.

We are generally welcoming help after Feb-July and then again in the fall, however, please inquire as we will consider stays outside that period. Lambs are usually born in February .
Seasonally we welcome assistance with with fencing, firewood cutting, the garden, harrowing, feeding livestock, building and building maintenance and general farm labour. No experience necessary have a willing attitude and be comfortable around animals. Someone with Carpentry skills is always helpful.
This year (2021) so far we have not been taking helpers due to Covid 19 . One person is high risk but we are all fully vaccinated. We expect that any help applying be fully vaccinated for covid-19 with a WHO approved or Canadian approved vaccine . We are also currently doing construction of a suite for permanent farm help and expect construction to be finished this fall. We will still likely be hosting some help seasonally during heavy workloads. We will keep everyone posted.
We are located on a small farm 4 km north of Lumby and 30 minutes east of Vernon BC, with sheep, laying chickens, hay and sometimes meat birds. We also have some older horses and a large organic garden.
We have lots of birds and generally very few biting flies or mosquitoes . We are also a hummingbird banding station every 2 weeks from late April until the beginning of August.
The house is also under a bit of renovation. Experience with tools an asset but not required. Prefer to have 1-4 week stay or longer, but at certain times of the year may consider a shorter stay so please check with us if you are interested in a shorter stay. We just ask that if you commit to coming to stay at our place that you arrive and keep us posted of any changes.
