Descrição
We raise cattle and grow hay. Our farm is in the Robson Valley, 4 km from the small town of McBride in B. C. pop 600. It is a farming valley between the Rocky Mountains and the Cariboo Mountains. The scenery is beautiful. We are 200 km from Jasper and 50 km from Mt. Robson. We have a few horses, one which needs more training., a donkey trained to pull a buggy. We are training a horse to pull in harness as well. We have two big friendly dogs. There is lots of Alpine hiking, mountain bike trails and trail riding near by. Our daughter and son and their families live very close by.

Ajuda
Volunteering hours could be fairly flexible averageing no more than 4 hours a day. Days off when required. When we are busy with hay, longer hours would be an option with agreed upon wages. Work would include exercising saddle horses, fence building and maintenance, getting winter fire wood, some helping in the garden and greenhouse, some working in the workshop if you are so inclined. Haying starts about July 1st. Help then would be mostly tractor driving if you are comfortable with that.

In my free time I was hiking or out and about in the city.
If I am near McBride I will definitely come by again.
