  Description

  Hello!
  
  We are a family located in beautiful Black Creek British Colombia. We have 1.5 acres on a beautiful bird sanctuary called Orel lake, located at the end of dead end road. On our small acreage we have chickens, goats, dogs, a cat, bee hives, and baby girl! Our back yard is the 'pond' where you can see many different species of migratory waterfowl, geese, ducks, swans, there is also beavers, great blue herons, frogs, turtles, and many species of smaller birds, waxwings, robins, goldfinches and more! We are southern facing, having excellent sun and a fantastic view of the local ski mountain!
  
  We are looking to expand our cultural immersion with you!( the workaways), we are interested in being exposed to different culture, language, thoughts on parenting, religion, politics, art, food... and people! We believe this will be a great way for our family to broaden its horizons and have a wealth of experiences while living in our small town.
  
  I work as a plumber in the community and stay very busy, with the birth of our baby girl last year we have less time for chores!
