  Description

  We are a family of 6 with 4 little children living on a family acreage. This farm has been in our family for over 100 years. We are not grain farmers anymore but we have 40 acres that we enjoy and care for. My husband and I own a Technology company in the city near by. I(christina) am home most days with the kids, but head into town for work a few days a week. We like to keep the kids home in the farm so they can enjoy it just as much as us. This is a Canada Manitoba Prairie farm and community. Every night is a pink sunset and there’s a river a mile down the road.
  
  We have a large vegetable garden, 3 acres of yard, and a pool.
  
  We have a large house with 6 bedrooms and lots of space.
  
  We live 15 minutes away from a small prairie town with a river running through it and 30 minutes from a small city.
  
  Our acreage has space for workaways to stay with us and find their own little private space on the property to park a van, trailer or otherwise.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  The prairies are beautiful, peaceful and kind. The summers here are full of green grass, fresh garden vegetables and endless valleys to explore. If you like babbling rivers to fish, canoe or swim this is your place. Everywhere you looks is a postcard and wildflowers are always growing on the side of the road.
  
  If you enjoy gardening and yard work to see the end result you will enjoy here. Not to mention there will probably always be a toddler wondering around. We live here because we wake up to the smell of lilacs in the morning, and end the day with swims hikes and fires under the stars.
