Outdoor experience learning about animals in Devine, BC, Canada

  Description

  We are the type of farmers who love all animals and treat all sentient beings with respect and deep care.
  
  Farming is a huge community and social responsibility that we feel proud to take very seriously. As stewards of this precious land that supports us back with clean air and pristine water, the majestic mountains and bluest of blue skies inspires of every day.
  
  There is a small farm stand, with very productive laying hens and a herd of Angus cows. We make natural probiotic facial toner, healing salves & tinctures, lip balms and tallow lotions with our own beeswax and kombucha products including Coffee Kombucha (It's really good, really)! There are many hikes and lakes with beaches for hiking, swimming & fishing around us nearby plus our creeks and streams on our own property.
  
  Accommodations are extremely rustic (large tents with Queen mattresses) off-grid and we're developing our Homestead in an eco-conscious way.
  
  Work available;
  Pasture development assistance including fence building. Shape new garden beds and pasture for planting. Harvest and process the season’s crops. Feed/water livestock plus help with pasture preparations and movement of livestock (goats, cows & chickens). Stock farm stand by creating beautiful display and assist in product development. Regenerative farm operations may include creation of chicken feed, plus cut and bale hay. Assist in building infrastructure including new barns, compost building plus farm worker comfort developments (recreation, wash and storage building(s).
  
  Ingenuity is key. We're off grid without power grid or cell service (however Starlink internet can be available).
  
  We'll accommodate your needs to the best of our ability if you're up for the job and the adventure.
  
  If you're not a "bear aware", wildlife-friendly person; if you're allergic to pollen, bees, wasps, fur, dander, dust, or hay - or can't live a day without the internet, or you don't have a drivers licence or your own vehicle, this isn't the place suited best to you.

  Aide

  Feeding of over 60 some chickens, meal worms and a small herd of friendly sweet cows, manage the compost pile and gardening of vegetables and sunflowers is mainly what goes on in a day here. There are new pastures in development and a hay field as well. There will also be somewhat of a farm stand with healing salves, lip balms, healing teas, kombucha drink, cleaner and probiotic facial toner, iced tea and some veggies for sale etc... to manage. The great thing about having many projects is that you can choose what you would like to work on from so many choices. We're literally barn raising here (plus greenhouse raising, plus hay pole barn raising, plus, plus ;)

  Hébergement

  We have a glamping dome tent with a Queen Sized mattress. It is next to the outhouse (with epic views). If you prefer to see the stars at night, camping is also easy/convenient and there are many cozy spots to choose from. We have some veggies and will have eggs in production soon and you're welcome to all you can eat or that. As mentioned, this is off-grid and out of cell service. We have wi-fi at home and it can be used anytime necessary and works for wi fi calling from your cell phone.

  Autres infos...

  This homestead farm is next to Birkenhead Provincial Park. It has a gorgeous beach and is known for great fishing. There are many hikes in the area and two ponds and two streams on our property that borders crown land at the back mountain ridge. You're welcome to use our mountain bike, any of our water floaties/mattress and we might have a little rowboat by then as well.

  Satellite WiFi works great. We're off-grid but if you can find a way to work online with these limitations that is super fine (WiFi calling works great - just needs to be set up while in cell service).

  Espace pour garer des vans

  This is a wonderful space for campervans. You have your choice of available spots you could call home. There's a fire pit for fun/cooking, hammocks to hang where you like, a clear running creek nearby, an outhouse and there will be an outdoor shower fairly soon.
