  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We are a dual-language family (German & English). We'd be happy to involve you in animal care and general farm chores. We can introduce you to vegetable gardening and food preservation methods. We also make our own cheese, cream, yogurt and butter from raw goat milk, which we'd be happy to share with you.

  Ajuda

  We are a young family on a large homestead with even larger plans, but limited time and resources :-).
  So we are looking for an individual or a couple who would be interested in helping with seasonal farm work, such as setting up electric fencing, harvesting fruits/vegetables, canning/preserving, tending to goats/chickens, making firewood, pruning fruit trees, planting, weeding or a myriad of other farm-related tasks etc.
  
  Food preparation and dishes will be a shared responsibility between you and us each night. Please note, we cannot accommodate vegan travelers, but with your help could accommodate vegetarian guests.
  Due to the extra distance from a local fire department and animals and children on the farm, we cannot accommodate smokers.

  Acomodação

  We have a small rustic guest house for you to stay in with a queen size bed, wood stove, propane cooker, limited solar electricity and an outhouse. There is a second mattress that can be placed on the floor or in the loft to accommodate a second person. You'd have access to a small fridge and some freezer space near the main house.
  Cold water is pumped into a rain barrel from the pond and can be used for showering, hand-washing and dishes. We usually place a black solar bag on the roof for warm water. Or you can share our solar outdoor shower near the main house. Alternatively, you can swim in the pond and use the wood-fired sauna.
  Drinking water is filtered through a Berkey filtration system.
  You can also enjoy a warm shower at nearby campgrounds or the hotsprings.
  
  Internet is available via Starlink near the main house, but won't work as far away as the guest cabin.

  Algo mais...

  We are surrounded by natural beauty and it is very quiet here with Lower Arrow Lake on one side and the Valkyr Range of the Selkirk Mountains on the other.
  We are very remote without public transportation - you need to have a car to get here.
  Our area has lots of hot springs, hiking trails, hunting and fishing options, snowshoe and cross-country tails, an alpine ski hill, heliskiing, lots of ATV options, skating rink, movie theatre and more (you'll need your own vehicle to access all of those).
  The nearest grocery store is 1 hour away by car (limited public transportation), and the next city is a 2 hour drive away.

  Espaço para estacionar campervans

  There is no public transportation in our area. However, you are welcome to bring your own vehicle, including a motorhome or RV. We may be able to hook up power and a water pump, but there is no septic/greywater system. You can travel a short distance to a campground to empty the septic.
