Description
In the aerial view we are the rust coloured buildings partially hidden on the left.
Life is good here these days as winter approaches. In January we'll welcome you as a Workaway. We still need help for Hurricane Fiona cleanup with trees down in our orchard. Some experience with woods work and knowledge of carpentry is an asset. 2 week maximum.
We live on a small patch of land that includes an orchard, garden, 2 acre field in barley with laying hens. Close to nature trail, beautiful beach and Confederation Trail. Bikes on site, basketball nets for your use along with other recreational equipment. Lovely cabin in the orchard could be used as rough living space during the Summer. Historic property of Glenaladale is in our backyard. There's work all year round so please check us out.
There's a small cabin that needs interior work before it is habitable during the summer months - perfect location for someone who wants to rough it but this is totally optional. Does this interest you? We'd love someone with carpentry & design skills. We welcome Workaways who have all their vaccines.
No Pets please. Excellent internet access.
Thanks
