Descripción
I love our 3 acre property because there is always something to create. We are a close walk to the lake and a small community with one store and a bakery and just a few little locally minded stores. There are two weekly community markets and our own farm market.
I am a healthy 7 time cancer survivor and love to give back to the world. I am honest, compassionate but also sensitive. I have a husband and two adult children whom I adore.
I love to create things with our lavender for the farmers markets. I can always use help with these tasks. We have a lot of apple trees (2700) and 800 lavender plants and will plant 150 peach trees in the spring, I love to repurpose wood to make things so I hope to have help to make platforms for yoga or just sitting using innovative ideas. I also want to build garden beds in the same way. Lots of fun to be had on an orchard!
We have a self contained trailer that has water, solar power, and indoor kitchen and an outhouse in its own space below our house. My ideal Workawayer is to be both social and enjoy their own time. I am happy to spend time together with crafting and building, but also know that independent time is good. I can provide food for your own breakfast preparation and we can have lunch together as you wish and some dinners should you choose. Communication is a key ingredient for good teamwork.
End of June and July is the biggest month of work for me that I could really use a hand with. Our sour cherries and lavender both need to be harvested at the same time in the first week of July. I could use more than one workaway helper at this time as we have two beautiful trailers.
I hope you will reach out

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
When I was younger I travelled the world and loved to meet new people and have different experiences. I think that our small community is an amazing place to meet people and see new things. There is a weekly community market and a beautiful lake where people gather. I think I can share some knowledge of farming and just stories about the many things that I have learned along the way. My dream for this property has always been to share this beautiful area and maybe help someone be able to make some lasting memories on our farm. If you love lavender and want to know more then this is the place.
There are 40 wineries nearby.
We are a working farm so there is much to learn about tending to orchard trees and pick fruit.

I would love to build garden beds and yoga or sitting platforms. I also just want to work together to make our big orchard into a more beautiful place to be and for many people from many different lands to come enjoy the peacefulness. I can always use help in the lavender field or watering plants. Perhaps building platforms or an animal fence together or even creating an outdoor pizza oven! I have lots of ideas but none that have to be done (except the fence and planting some trees). I think that Naramata is an absolutely beautiful, peaceful place to come work and stay.

Alojamiento
I have a self contained trailer at the bottom of our property. It has a double bed and also two bunk beds. It does have an interior kitchen but the bathroom facilities are outside (outhouse) and sink. There is running water in trailer for drinking and washing dishes. I hope to work together to build a beautiful outdoor kitchen as well. There is a covered lavender shed to have a shaded area to sit and will build a nice fie pit area in the future for evening relax time. This is an independent living area. I will be at the top of the property in the family home. There is a lot of room to feel connected yet independent.
For me, ideally the guests would enjoy their breakfast and lunch on their own time, unless we are working together and I stop for lunch, then I would welcome them to join. I work very hard working early until late but I am a social person so I can easily adjust to enjoy meals at the same time. I would provide breakfast items and food that they could make for lunches as well. Many people who come and stay to help me on the farm enjoy going to relax at the beach and enjoy their dinners there where it is cooler.
Algo más...
There is so much to do. We have world class mountain biking and hiking trails right at the doorstep. There is a lake to swim and boat or ski. There are 40 wineries within a short distance as we are in a wine growing area. I am an active healthy minded person. I love to be active. I would want people who are here to enjoy peacefulness and embrace the wonders of this area. I also need guests to be quiet at night as where the trailer is located it is like an ampitheatre (sound travels easily).

We have secure internet at the house and the sales shop but no internet is available at the trailer. It is a peaceful place but Starlink apparently works if you have that product to hook up.
Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas
The property has a small narrow roadway that I just had bulit last year. It is at the bottom of the property and is flat with water but no internet and the trailer works with a battery and solar. Currently best to be 25 feet or less for ease of entry but I am working on making the access easier. We are more than open to hosting you and your campervan.
Podría aceptar mascotas
I am open to accepting pets but only if you have your own sleeping accommodation. I need to keep our trailer pet free for people who have allergies. Also, the pet will have to be well behaved and quiet as the bottom of the property is a natural amphitheater. I would request photos and dogs history.

Their beautiful property is located in the cute village of Naramata, with a view on the lake and surrounded by orchards and vineyards. From there, you can also access the bigger city of Pentiction with a short drive or a scenic bike ride !
