Descrição
Welcome to our little slice of paradise in rural Quebec, where sustainable living meets natural beauty! We are Mihkel and Beatrice, a dynamic couple with a passion for nurturing the land and living in harmony with nature. Our 160-acre homestead, nestled between Papineauville and Montebello, near the picturesque Ottawa River, is an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
In 2014, we traded the urban chaos for the serenity of rural life, and we haven't looked back since. With my Estonian heritage and Beatrice's French Canadian roots, our multicultural background adds richness to the experience we offer. Our two young sons are the heart and soul of our homestead, constantly exploring and discovering the wonders of nature.
From the moment you step foot on our land, you'll be enchanted by the lush forests, fragrant fruit trees, and the gentle buzz of our busy apiary. We take pride in cultivating vegetable garden and taking care our apple trees, producing not only sustenance but also a deep connection to the earth. And let's not forget our homemade apple delicacies and freshly baked bread that will leave your taste buds singing!

Deixado pelo Workawayer (AgneMich) para o anfitrião
We spent two weeks at Mihkel and Beatrice place, right before and during the Montebello Rockfest. We helped the guys in the orchard for a bit but mostly we helped them out setting up a camping for hosting 250 people during the festival. Things can be very crazy and stressful when you have such a huge project but in the end we had so much fun, we… read more

Inside the house she was good at watching over the baby and entertaining the toddler. Isabell also treated us by cooking a delicious traditional… read more

I stayed for two and a half months on the farm, and I truly loved it there. From the start I felt absolutely welcomed and taken care of, and Mihkel and Béatrice always made sure I was comfortable.
At the beginning I decorated the sauna, which was a superfun project. After that, general maintenance tasks, blowing the leaves, weeding, cleaning… read more

My first workaway eperience could not have been better :) From day one I felt very welcome and more as part of the family than just as a guest. I really enjoyed the time with Mihkel, Beatrice and their adorable little son Vidrik. The painting inside the house was meditating and the work in the forest and in the snow were exercising and fun. The… read more

We had a very good time with Béatrice and Mihkel, a very nice couple. We spent one month at their farm with their dog and their sweet little boy. We enjoyed very much working outdoors with the snow and the wood. Béatrice's happy mood is contagious. We are very grateful for their kindness and generosity.
