Description
We are situated in the beautiful central part of B.C. between the rockies and the Caribou mountains.
it is a small Valley called the Robson Valley Trench.
We farm Bison grain & hay. Have horses mainly for pleasure and a very large garden to sustain us for the year. We grow as naturally as we can. Not certified organic.
We are in the Senior category and can really use help with garden, animals, birds, organizing, freeze drying and finishing up a huge barn project. [ that will take years. ]
HOPEFULLY 2 foals expected the spring of 2024. That adds a different dimension.
Our daughter, soon to be 333, [ has focus, sight, energy and memory challenges from Chemo damage ] She's very sweet and may or may not be here. She volunteers at a childrens camp.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Our tasks vary from year to year so it's difficult to say. The large greenhouse is always a learning curve for us. Ducks are always at different stages of development. We have a short haying season in July that is intense when it happens. The Bison visit very near the doorstep of the cabin each morning. The valley is as beautiful as the people are rich in character. There is always opportunity to get up in the alpine. Snow or summer.
Many who've come want to return.
Aide
We have lots of building upkeep, painting
Trecks to the mountains is our reward to ourselves for hard work done- You're welcome to come and welcome to attend the many social events in town. .
Helping with horses is welcomed but seen as a pleasure, not as part of the exchange agreement. And yes, riding horses is welcome also. IF you have credentials to training and handling horses then some of your helping time can be with horses.

Via Rail runs through our town - and can be a fun way of transport. Jasper is just 1 1/2 hr. away. We have beautiful views of our valley from both the rockies and Caribou ranges. The Ancient Cedar Forest, winding Fraser River, [ a canoing adventure ] cabins in the mountains and rich blend of elk, deer, moose, bear, grizzlies, raptors, wolves, coyotes, wolverines, pikas make up a valley worth experiencing. :)

Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux
That really depends, our animals have priority . No pets allowed in the accommodation areas due to potential allergies of others. They must be o.k. to sleep in your vehicle or tied up outside. If the pet even looks to be interested in chasing a cat ,deer, bird or bison they will be on a chain the rest of their time here. No grace on that part sorry. We had a friend's well behaved dog here, that suddenly decided to chase the chickens. That was all it took for our pup to learn to do so. Which led to killing, - as a result we had to re home her. :(
