Descrição
We would like to welcome you to our farm in Port Alberni. The farm is located in the Alberni Valley, beneath the beautiful Beaufort Mountain Range.
On our 5-acre farm we are raising sheep, rabbits, meat chicken and chickens for eggs. We also grow vegetables and garlic. We have an organic garden, in which we try to grow most of the vegetables and herbs that our family requires.
Originally from Germany (with Czech & German Ancestors), Anette and Peter are enjoying our small farm tremendously. Peter’s Nephew Daniel also lives on our Farm.
There is Luna the Border Collie and Willow the Maremma livestock guardian dog; Poppy, Fynn, Trudi and Freddi are our cats.

Acomodação
We can always provide you with your own private place in our holiday trailer with a nice and clean surrounding and private bathrooms. We have room for two helpers (sometimes there are more :). We speak fluent English and German and can understand some French. There is high-speed Wi-Fi on the property.
Algo mais...
We have a large swimming pool and a fire place in the garden that our guests can use. Evenings around the open fireplace are always fun. There is a piano, two guitars and an accordion if you feel like making some music.
Our property is about 1 1/2 km away from the famous Stamp River with opportunities to swim, float-to-town on an inner-tube, hike the Anglers Trail to the waterfalls or go fishing for Salmon, Steelhead or Trout from June to November.
Mount Arrowsmith is a year round wilderness recreation destination located east of Port Alberni. There are numerous trails around the mountain.
The “Wild West Coast” is a 1 1/2 hour drive away and gets you to Long Beach, Tofino or Ucluelet, which are close to some of Canada’s most beautiful National Parks on the Pacific Ocean (Long Beach, Broken Islands, West Coast Trail, and more).
Be aware that our farm is 22km from town. We can arrange for trips to town with one of our vehicles but some pre-planning and organizing will be required, unless of course you bring your own vehicle. There are several bicycles available for your use at anytime.
We do our best to respond right away to your inquiries. We know how important it is in order to plan the details of your travel, stay, etc. We also ask the same from you; if you tell us that you are coming and you change your mind, that's okay, just please let us know as soon in advance as possible.

We spent a bit over 3 weeks in Port Alberni, although we were only with Peter and Anette for 3 days of our stay as they were heading overseas they were so welcoming and kind. We felt like we knew them straight away and felt super comfortable in their house (which is amazing, the property is beautiful). Peter was so much help with some paperwork i… read more

Not so sure who Jim is but we thank you for helping us during this difficult time. Unfortunately, Peter had his hip replacement surgery and was basically "out of commission" during your stay.
Your help as well as your friends, Niklas' and Inga's help allowed us to concentrate on Peter's health and recovery.

The work is mostly cleaning the animals and doing stuff in the Garden.

What a joy and pleasure having had you both with us. Everything started with your brave adventure through Canada's West to bring Peter home. Extraordinary! Safely driving 3000 km through BC and Alberta, pulling a trailer, is challenging to say the very least. You are such a wonderful couple, every task and score was completed with enthusiasm and… read more

Oh my, I am so glad that I didn’t gave in to my first impulse to reject a helper in March, a slow month in the year.
Otherwise we wouldn’t have met Steffi, she came as a Workawayer and became a friend and part of the family. That month flew by like nothing. We had such a great time with Steffi. She is a dedicated worker, easy to get along with,… read more

I really enjoyed my one month-stay at the farm in March! My work was very interresting and divers like feeding the animals (sheeps, rabbits, hens, cats and dogs), building bee hives and a house for the roosters, painting and gardening, etc. Anette, Babi and Peter were so friendly, generous and warm-hearted that I felt a little bit like home.… read more
