  Description

  I am an herbalist with a deep interest and passion for cultivating, processing and utilizing the healing power of plants. I am starting a sixth season of creating an organic medicinal herb farm and botanical sanctuary to grow healing plants for my community and that of Eastern Canada. We also have a nut and fruit tree orchard, as well as a soft fruit orchard.
  We have a commitment to using organic, and permaculture principles and sustainably growing our new farm.
  The house is a 200 year old farm house that is clean, simple and comfortable. We also just completed building a cabin for our workaway guests!

  Aide

  What we require is help in the gardens, building and planting new beds, working in the greenhouse, helping to build infrastructure and general help around the farm. Some previous gardening experience is expected as well as the ability to work somewhat independently with a little common sense. We are open to people using their creative abilities and ideas to help develop something special here. I can share my knowledge of medicinal plants if people are interested.
