    Description

    Hello and Welcome,

    Seeking single r or couple April 1st-May 1 st and June 1-October. Prefer 1 month minimum.
    Preference given to French speakers as our daughter is in a French only school and our French is Comme se Comme ca.


    We are Erik(36), Amber (45) and Grace (6), we welcome you to come and explore this amazing place we are blessed to call home.
    We were so lucky to find this perfect location within the City of Whitehorse, just minutes from downtown and yet has a very rural feel as we are on a dirt road and back onto the river on 1 side and the forest on the other.

    We are into hiking, canoeing, "wild crafting" (picking wild plants), fishing, hunting, smoking meat, pottery and living the "Yukon lifestyle".

    We camp and canoe regularly. With your help around the farm we will have more time to help you explore this beautiful place .
    We appreciate positive, independent people and we are open and excited to hear new ideas.
    Most of the work is cooking and cleaning and gardening, occasional small construction projects or reading stories with Grace.

    Having a good work ethic and a positive attitude are greatly appreciated. We will give you many options of tasks based on your skill set... you can certainly tell me you would prefer to do task A instead of take B.

    It has been mentioned that we don't give much direction. There is truth in this. I will ask you, " what are you good at?"
    I don't micro-manage or look over your shoulder constantly to make sure you are doing it correctly....we hope that you are self reliant and will ask for clarification if needed.
