  Description

  We live on a 90-acre island in the North Thompson Valley, about 10-15 minutes North of Kamloops. Five of us live here between two large houses: one senior, two adults, and two young adults. We have 2 dogs, chickens, a large vegetable garden, many acres of pristine ponderosa pine forest and many deciduous trees. We aim to keep our property free of harmful chemicals and invasive species.We would love assistance with garden upkeep, landscaping projects, house maintenance and small construction projects.
  
  We have a fun family with lots of extended family around and great friends who are often enjoying our property. Sometimes its very active here and there times more quiet. Our older children (19 & 20) may or may not be here. They have their own lives but also live here.

  When we have dinner together (most nights) you can join us. If we are not having dinner together, there is usually a meal made to eat in your own time.
