  Description

  Come live, learn, and grow with us in the Rocky Mountains 🌿
  
  We are a permaculture homestead nestled in the mountains just outside of Golden, BC — and for the past 10 years, we’ve been building this land from the ground up into a thriving, off-grid ecosystem.
  What started as bare land is now home to an off-grid Earthship (built with rammed earth tires and hempcrete), gardens, a food forest, outdoor kitchen with a wood-fired pizza oven, and a growing collection of regenerative systems. We harvest solar energy, manage our own water systems, and raise animals in a way that works with the land — not against it.
  
  This is a place for people who want to learn by doing, get their hands in the soil, and experience a slower, more connected way of living.
  
  What you’ll learn & experience
  - Hands-on permaculture
  - Organic gardening for both fresh eating and winter storage
  - Animal care (pigs, laying hens, ducks)
  - Off-grid living systems (water, solar, infrastructure)
  - Food preservation: fermenting, baking, canning, and cooking nourishing meals
  - small-scale construction projects
  - help around the home & gardens
  
  
  What daily life looks like
  - Volunteers typically work 5 hours per day, 5 days per week, with a mix of structured projects and shared daily rhythms like:
  - Feeding and caring for animals
  - Gardening (planting, weeding, harvesting, watering)
  - Preparing meals
  - Help around the home
  - Assisting with builidng, land care
  
  Why you’ll love it here
  - Live immersed in the beauty of the Rocky Mountains
  - Be part of a meaningful, hands-on lifestyle
  - Eat nourishing, homegrown food (Betty is a chef and keeps us very well fed!)
  - Learn skills that support self-sufficiency and resilience
  - Experience a balance of work, nature, and community
  - Shared yoga space & occasional classes in yoga, meditaion and breathwork
  - Nearby to 4 National Parks for hiking (a car is preferable due to our remote access!)
