Descrição
**HELP NEEDED FOR AUGUST!!!**
We are located in the beautiful west country just 10km east of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta-- an hour from the stunning Rocky Mountains. Our family consists of myself and my husband Mike as well as our two kids aged 16 and 13. We run Mountain View Ranches-- a mixed farm consisting of beef cattle and Heritage Breed poultry. We also have two dogs and two cats. My husband and I both work full time, so we are looking for daily help with chores feeding and watering chickens and ducks-- as well as some house hold duties. We will need a farm stay in the middle of August as well as the last week of August/Sept long weekend.
Cattle duties would include rotational grazing which would be moving the electric fencing every couple of days and checking water. Help may be needed with tagging, branding and processing calves. We also raise poultry and much time in the spring is spent caring for chicks and juveniles.
In addition to working with the livestock I find that I am always looking for help with maintaining the yard, keeping the lawn mowed (or snow shoveled as the case may be) and things picked up.
Our family is busy and spends much time running with activities for the kids, and my husband and I also run a comedy theatre group here that takes up much of our time in the winter. We can offer comfortable private accommodation (private bedroom, queen bed) in our home and any helpers would be treated as family. We are looking for someone who is honest and trustworthy with a good sense of humour and a strong work ethic.
We are centrally located between Edmonton and Calgary and also frequently travel to the city for museums, zoos, theatre and other attractions.
English is spoken in the home, and meal times are not set in stone. We have a fairly loosely set schedule and our family is pretty laid back and not religious although we don't mind if a guest is so inclined.
As far as Canadian cultural opportunities--they largely depend on the season. We have tried to show our guests around the area, we have seen the Royal Tyrell Museum (Paleontology-dinosaurs), we have shared Canada Day celebrations, rodeos, country fairs, sledding, bonfires, fireworks, horse drawn sleigh rides, Christmas light tours, and trips to the mountains to see the wild horses. We try to fit in activities that we hope our guests will enjoy and find interesting-- or that may be a new experience for them.
We are currently hosting a Work Awayer until about the first week of August-- however our time with him is coming to an end. *****We will be away the third weekend of August and again the very end of the month. We will need farm stay help for the last few days of August and Sept long weekend. *****Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Animal husbandry and pastured/free range poultry is a large part of our lives and much experience in these areas would be gained. We are fortunate to be centrally located between two major centres, Edmonton and Calgary and are also close to the beautiful west country and the stunning Rocky Mountains and all that they offer.

Ajuda
It is the daily livestock care and meal preparation that I value the most. Experience with poultry and farm livestock, tractors and farm equipment would be an asset. Someone who enjoys cooking or has simple carpentry experience would be most welcome!

Acomodação
We can offer a private bedroom with a queen bed. We certainly don't mind a vegetarian guest and would do our best to accommodate their food choices-- however we are meat eaters ourselves.
Algo mais...
We are less than an hour from Red Deer for shopping or other urban activities and two hours from Calgary and Edmonton. We make occasional trips for museums, zoos, theatre and other family activities through out the summer and on weekends. There are a few lakes close by, historic sites and many local activities such as farmer's markets, rodeos, country fairs and great day hiking trips. We would be willing to drive to and from most of these events, however an international driver's license would be an asset.
Any guest staying with us would be treated as family and would be expected to help out with whatever chaotic situation we find ourselves in -- so flexibility and a positive outlook would be beneficial. We look forward to meeting someone from another country and learning from their experiences, language and culture as well.Mais alguns detalhes

PS: Ruby is awesome to :)
It didn't take me long to feel like an actual member of their family, so I also got invested in their life really quickly. They showed me all the cultural beauties in the area and took their "responsibility" towards workaway to contribute to an actual cultural exchange… read more
