Descripción
We are a young family of 4. Husband and wife and our two young daughters. We are all about Regenerative farming, soil health, nutrient dense food and self-sustainability! The summer of 2021 we moved out to our homestead. Broke down fences and buildings, but land with endless possibilities. We are building, fixing and creating new. The dream is that one day the farm will be able to sustain our family and many more like us. Until then we embrace the work, the hours outside and the food we are able to grow.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
This would be a great hands on learning experience for anyone looking to learn about regenerative agriculture and building a homestead. We are a motivated growing homestead and farm and this would be a great opportunity for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of regenerative farming practices such as adaptive grazing with electric fence, butchery, cover cropping, no till gardening, wildlife management, and so on. We have 160 acres, lakes and rivers near by that we float in the summer. We work hard but we also love to take advantage of nice days and sit by the campfire in the evenings. If you are interested in carbon sequestration and learning about farming practices that go beyond sustainability, if you love to learn and build, we would love to get to know you.

The work on our homestead never ends. Most of our buildings and fences need some love, gardens want to be seeded, weeded and watered; pigs, chickens, cows and goats love fresh pasture on a regular basis. If you know how to handle tools, enjoy cooking or even have some knowledge in building an online presence, if you can handle two little wildlings and aren't scared to get muddy and enjoy filling up your vitamin D tank with tons of outside work, we might be the place for you. While the summers are filled with growing gardens, animals and kids, the fall is all about food preservation. Harvesting, butchering and canning. It sure doesn't get boring around here.

Este anfitrión ofrece intercambio de idiomas
While English is the main language spoken in our household, our children and I (Alena) are bilingual (Swiss-German and English). I studied English in Switzerland, so languages have always been my passion. Both Scott and I have travelled a bit and would love to learn new languages.
Alojamiento
We have a little camper ready for you. You will have your own little kitchen. As the water is currently not working, you are free to use the bathroom in the main house.
If you are ambitious, we have an old school bus that we are planning to turn into a tiny home.

Jasper national park is 2 hours away, Edmonton is 1.5hrs away. We would prefer if you would have you own vehicle as we are a little out in the boonies and it is nice to be able to go places in your free time. We have a small boat and fishing rods, and kayaks that you are welcome to use. During the summer there is loads of farmers markets and rodeos in the area that are fun to visit. This is a great place to come and immerse yourself in the country lifestyle.

If you have a well behaved dog, you are welcome to bring it. We do have 3 of our own dogs, a livestock guardian dog among them. Our livestock guardian dog is very friendly towards people, but her job is to protect our animals from predators and she may not tolerate aggressive or dominant behaviour. We also have livestock such as chickens and young animals, so your dog will have to be good with them and can under no circumstances harm our animals.
