Description
We would like to welcome you to our farm in Port Alberni. The farm is located in the Alberni Valley, beneath the beautiful Beaufort Mountain Range.
On the 5-acre farm we are raising sheep, rabbits, meat chicken and chickens for eggs. We also grow vegetables and garlic. We have an organic garden, in which we try to grow most of the vegetables and herbs that our family requires.
Originally from Germany (with Czech & German ancestors), Anette and Peter are enjoying our small farm tremendously. Peter’s mom "Babi", also lives on the property besides all our critters.
There is Luna, the Border Collie and Willow, the Maremma livestock guardian dog; Poppy and Fynn are our cats.

What a joy and pleasure having had you both with us. Everything started with your brave adventure through Canada's West to bring Peter home. Extraordinary! Safely driving 3000 km through BC and Alberta, pulling a trailer, is challenging to say the very least. You are such a wonderful couple, every task and score was completed with enthusiasm and… read more

Oh my, I am so glad that I didn’t gave in to my first impulse to reject a helper in March, a slow month in the year.

I really enjoyed my one month-stay at the farm in March! My work was very interresting and divers like feeding the animals (sheeps, rabbits, hens, cats and dogs), building bee hives and a house for the roosters, painting and gardening, etc. Anette, Babi and Peter were so friendly, generous and warm-hearted that I felt a little bit like home.… read more

We had a really great month in April here. The hosts are great and very welcoming. It felt like home after a few hours.
We learned so much about gardening, farming and taking care of animals.
Tasks include cleaning and feeding animals and their sheds, planting things in the garden, help to repair a water pipeline and so much more.

She has so much positive energy and motivation to do almost anything. She was dedicated to all the tasks she did. Especially the rabbits got a lot of attention and had a wonderful month when Ilona stayed with us. Regardless what task was on the list, it was done with care and attention.

I stayed 4 weeks with Anette and Peter and had such a good time! This place is so special and beautiful, I enjoyed every single day. Since it was my first workaway-experience I was excited what it would be like to live and work with a family I didn't know before but I really felt comfortable with them. They are such nice people, always friendly… read more

I had 3 awesome months on Anettes and Pits farm in Port Alberni.
I learned a lot about sheep and gardening and enjoyed all the animals specially all the babys (lambs and babyrabbits) and the three dogs.
Anette cooked delicious meals and Pit is always one for a laugh.
I had my privacy but also some nice nights in the tipi or on the porch with… read more
