Seeking a couple to help with some projects on our hobby farm in Duncan, BC, Canada

  Description

  We are a busy house with 3 boys, 10yo and a pair of 12yo’s .
  There are lots of opportunities to practice language and various levels of skill.
  lots of small/big jobs to be done as it’s been hard to find time.
  We like to have fun, who doesn’t.
  We enjoy campfires and BBQing, the kids are in school and enjoy going to the local pool and adventures to see their grandmothers.
  dad is currently recovering from back injury and mom is has re-joined the workforce.
  We have a small acreage that we have been slowly moving toward a hobby farm.
  We have some egg laying chickens and some pigs that are more in the pet category. We enjoy BBQ’s and are learning to smoke our own meat.
  Would like some sheep in the near future, that requires some fencing and a small shed/barn
  
  There are many activities to do locally, we are walking distance to forest and beach walks, mountain bike trails within riding distance.
  
  Ideal candidates would have at least 1 candidate be willing to get paid training and be willing to work some extra hours with the boys, getting them to help with farm chores.
  
  We believe regenerative farming as a sustainable way to eat healthy food and respect the land building healthy soil and fresh veggies
  
  But we will accept most applicants who are brave enough to accept a challenge 😂🤣😂

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are a sort of typical family, living a sort of typical life.
  Both parents have travelled, but have been very busy with our energetic family.
  With all the abundance of nature the local area has to offer it’s hard to go wrong.
  
  With the kids being language delay family times are interesting and rewarding when you find or have a click.
  
  There are so many adventures available right at the doorstep, lovely ocean view forest walks, beaches. Small town but close to big things also.
  Sailing is a potential.?

  Aide

  There are many task to be considered.
  Farm fencing
  Mini barn building (sheds really)
  Home improvements.
  Machine maintenance
  To many different to list, although a list could be provided.
  -Last weekend we got to use a refurbished soil sifter to get the garden beds started, a 2 day job that has been in the works for a few weeks.
  
  Since the injury James’ power has been reduced significantly but the will is still there are many chances to learn new skills, think outside the box and more importantly do them hands on.
  
  Preference for a couple where one is ready to help managing meals willingness to work around some sweet kids who are all ready to fight for attention in their own way.
