  Our property is 5 acres which contains organic gardens; vegetables, berries, garlic, herbs, perennial gardens, an orchard (fruit & nut trees). Working with us will include: pruning, composting, weeding, planting, harvesting, preserving and general property maintenance. We are situated on Gabriola Island B.C., - a beautiful location a 5 - 10 minute walk to Silva Bay Marina on the South end of our Island; a 5 minute drive (30 minute walk) to a Provincial Park on the ocean.
  
  We produce food for our family's personal use.
  
  We hope to hear from you. If you have questions about our property or us, please just ask and start a conversation. Communication is the best way to find out if we are a fit for each other!
