Description
We have a family operated oyster farm and live on an island homestead in Southeast Alaska. We are a couple in our 50's with a teenager at home. It is isolated here with no shops, and only a few other people. There are lots of opportunities to enjoy pristine Southeast Alaskan views. We travel to town with our boat or skiff about once every two weeks. We have a couple of cats, a dog, and ducks and geese. We try to eat as much home grown or harvested food as we can, though we also get bulk staples.
We live right next to and work on the water, but also have a garden and acreage for those who rather walk.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Our visitors usually learn much about themselves, after living in a world so very different than their own.
Aide
We are interested in someone that can help on the homestead. We live on a remote island and travel to town infrequently. About a three month visit works best.

Share a three room cabin. There is a small kitchen for preparing food, though most meals can be eaten at the main house. The front room is a few feet from the ocean and has a stunning view.
Autres infos...
Air travel is to Ketchikan, Alaska (KTN) then on Island Air to Klawock. The travel is expensive - but well worth it, for many people. Please contact us before making any travel arrangements.
We move toward self-sufficiency as a way of life. We grow, eat and sell premium whole foods and avoid processed "foods".
For entertainment while here you can hike, skiff, fish, kayak, harvest plants, berries, mushrooms to eat, and enjoy music, games, or movies.
We have lived in this area of Alaska for many years. This is our way of life; not a vacation/retirement hobby.Informations complémentaires

This was truly the experience of a lifetime. Living out on a remote island in Southeast Alaska was such a fun and unique adventure - one that I would do over again in a heartbeat.

I had a beautiful time on your lovely island and a lot of breathtaking moments. During this time you guys became my second family and were always there for me.
