We have an 80 acre hobby farm with cash crops of soybeans and hay. We also have vegetable and flower gardens for our own use. My husband Chris and I have recently retired. Our children have recently moved out but continue to visit often. We are about 25 minutes from downtown Ottawa and about 10 minutes from the city limits and access to buses.
If you would like to come help us we can provide private accommodation and food for volunteering 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. We have an above ground pool to cool off on the hot days.
Work would include working in the gardens and grounds, helping with the stacking hay in barn, clean up in the out buildings, house cleaning and cooking.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

Ottawa is the capital of Canada. The city is situated along the Ontario side of the Ottawa River, opposite Gatineau, Quebec. The metropolitan population of Ottawa is 1.1 million and is the fourth largest city in Canada.
Unique as a North American capital, the city is bilingual. English is the first language of a majority of the population, but French is the first language of a significant number. Staff in most downtown stores and restaurants speak both well and, in general, bilingualism is common.
The city is probably best known as the nation's capital but has become one of the fastest growing cities in North America owing to low crime, low unemployment, and the high-tech business sector.Un poco más de información

Eder enjoyed being able to go out for runs and biking.
