    Descrição

    We are a long-time environmental/social ecology couple. Nancy is a professional writer and one of the Institute's original members. She came to PEI to build the Ark Bioshelter and never left. (Nancy is also a great animal protector. If you don't like dogs, cats, or wildlife, please don't bother to contact us.)
    Phil studied Social Ecology with Murray Bookchin. He created one of the first certified organic farms in Atlantic Canada, which he ran for a dozen years before moving to PEI.
    We founded the Institute. in 1995. Since then, our work has focused on environmental education (climate change), organic gardening and farming, green building, and local economic prosperity.

    This year, at our homestead in Eastern PEI, we converted a wooden fishing boat into a cottage and erected two unique belle tents. We would enjoy hosting folks who enjoy gardening, landscaping and general woodworking/carpentry. We always seem to have a project on the go. We have Internet access, pets, and can consider individuals, couples, or families.

    We farm organically incorporating as many 'permaculture.' techniques as practical. Prince Edward Island is considered one of the 10 best islands in the world and the best in N. America and it is also renowned as one of the top ten culinary destinations in the world. An Amish community is down the road and a Buddhist monastery is being built nearby. Added to this, the local farm traditions and East Coast musical culture is alive and well on Prince Edward Island.

    Located on Prince Edward Island, Canada, we are renovating a small homestead in the rural, eastern end of the Island. Our land overlooks the water and is near gourmet dining, an Amish community, a bustling farmers' market, pristine beaches, world class golf courses and great, local music venues.The farmhouse has been renovated. In back is a rustic cabin with electricity and an outdoor shower.
    We are building a new garden, propagating plants for a nursery and converted a large wooden fishing boat into a cottage.
    We are seeking someone to come visit 3-4 days who can help with gardening and building at our rural homestead. experienced carpenters and landscapers are preferred. Travelers may want to have their own transportation as the closest town is a 15 minute drive to Souris or Montague. Charlottetown is a 40 minute drive.
