Descripción
We're Mihkel, who has Estonian roots, and Beatrice, who comes from a French Canadian background. Together, we're raising our two energetic boys on a 160-acre homestead in rural Quebec.
In 2014, we left the fast-paced city for the peace and beauty of this region between Papineauville and Montebello, right by the Ottawa River. Our land offers everything: dense forests to explore, an apple orchard where we create our own apple treats, a veggie garden full of fresh produce, and homemade bread coming from the kitchen regularly.
This place is our heart and soul. We are committed to living sustainably, staying close to nature, and getting our hands dirty with practical tasks. We engage in gardening, harvesting from the orchard, and making products from what we grow, making these daily activities feel meaningful and connected.
Each season brings something new: spring is all about planting and prepping, summer is for building and fixing, and fall into early winter focuses on apples and production.
If you like the idea of helping out, learning farm skills, and contributing to our self-reliant life, you'll leave with valuable experiences and cherished memories.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Join us for an enriching cultural exchange through positive, hands-on work that supports our homestead and family. Depending on the season, you'll engage in making homemade goods from our garden and orchard products. After work, unwind with invigorating hikes in the forest, relaxing reads, or savoring the peaceful surroundings. You'll have opportunities to learn about apples and orchard management, maple syrup production, sustainable practices, and the delights of rural Quebec life. We speak English, Estonian, and French, and enjoy sharing insights about the forest and our everyday routines. In the evenings, we often gather for board games or bonfires under the stars.
Ayuda
We welcome enthusiastic help with eco projects, gardening, DIY and building projects, farmstay tasks, creating or cooking family meals, help around the house, and general maintenance. Tasks vary positively with the seasons: in spring, we get things started with energizing prep like garden setup; summer brings more time for enjoyable building and maintenance projects; and in fall and early winter, we direct our efforts toward the apple orchard and creating apple products.
Volunteers typically contribute 4-5 hours a day, 5 days a week, with flexibility to suit the flow. Minimum stay is at least 2 weeks, and we're open throughout 2026.
