Description
We are a small hobby farm located on Haida Gwaii and surrounded by ocean and beautiful forest.
We have chickens, ducks, and goats right now. Our farm produces vegetables, eggs, fruit, and meats (poultry, pork and goat) we also milk goats to make cheese and yogurt.
Being in such a remote location and with storms often disrupting food supplies to our island we are learning to be as self sufficient as possible and produce as much food as we can, currently eggs, poultry, pork, goat meat, vegetables, apples, berries, wines, cheeses, soaps and jelly. Harvesting wild foods is also an interest for us and we are always processing and preserving what is in season.
Daily volunteers will be feeding goats, collecting eggs, watering and feeding chickens, weekly you would be cleaning out the chicken and goat houses, usually there will be weeding in the garden or moving compost to the fields. There may be help needed with building projects such as fencing and a new greenhouse. We also may ask you to help with local Elders that need help in their gardens due to handicaps or age related illness that has made their gardens unusable. Usually there are precious food sources for the island that are shared by the Elders when they are able to access fruit trees and bushes and they really need our help. I am also a vendor and a volunteer at three of the island farmers markets and I will ask if you can come out to help with setting up events such as the Tlell Fall Fair in July/ August or the Seedy Saturday in the spring! For your help you will receive room and board and also I will pay for your food and treats at the events and entrance fees. You will learn how to make cheese, yogurt, soap, jelly, meat, wines, and what ever else we are making "in-season". Ask what we are up to and what you will learn during your visit as this changes depending on the season. We are making cheese daily but we only butcher in the fall, etc.
We accept volunteers year round and are happy to exchange room and board for help on our farm and the chance to meet new friends!
Haawa!!

She taught me so much, from taking care of her garden and showing me the basics of planting to looking after her animals and selling products at the local market.
