Country living in sountern BC, Canada

Infos

• 

  Description

  I am a very active/busy older woman who has a lot of knowledge to share to those interested in learning about life in the country.
  I live in a very small community, along a country road, quite far away from the city. The closest one is a 45 minute drive, so it would be great if you have your own transportation or an international driver's license.
  
  My home is on 80 acres of land, situated along a beautiful river and surrounded by mountains. I live in a country home with gardens, flower beds, but no farm animals.
  
  There is always some kind of work needing to be done. In the winter, I heat with wood. In the summer, there is a large organic garden to take care of. This is a great place to learn about country living and what it means to live in a remote place in Canada.
  
  Harvesting the fruit has already started: cherries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, plums, pears and apples as they come into readiness. The busiest month is in September, with canning and putting food away for the winter.
  
  Depending on the skills and interests you bring, the work could range from carpentry to gardening, pruning to plumbing, wood splitting & stacking to general household type work. . . painting, repairing, computer updates, maintaining the compost. . . . what ever seems to be needed. Cooking is always much appreciated. Shared household maintenance is part of the deal as well.
  
  Please note: wildlife abounds -- from wild turkeys to bears (see picture #2- bear in cherry tree). You must be prepared for life on the edge of wilderness.
  
  References will be required.
  If you are looking for a peaceful place to spend some time and invest yourself in some Canadian country living, please consider contacting me to see if this would be a good fit for you.
  Please write me for more information about being here. Please tell me about your interests, food preferences, activities you are interested in and your expectations for coming here.
  
  Thanks!
  Camille
