Description
We are a young Christian family with five kids, looking for help on our grass fed only dairy farm. We live 10 minutes from Salmon Arm, a beautiful town with a lake and lots of outdoor activities. We grow a big garden and try to put up most of our own food for the year. We raise pigs, turkeys, chickens and sheep as side ventures, as milking 60 mixed breed dairy cows is our main venture. We butcher all our own meat and raise all our animals on organic principles. We live in a large farmhouse.

Autres infos...
We require a good work ethic and sense of humor. We are willing to train if you have no experience as long as you are willing to try. We would prefer at least a month commitment but are flexible. We also have kids and ask that guests don't smoke or drink while staying in our home (although drinking water is acceptable). We have lakes and mountains nearby which provide lots of activities. We have limited internet but lots of fresh air.

I came just the day the cows went out into pasture, which isn't usually for milk cows, but that's nice. Also the farm is very animal friendly.
