    Descrição

    Our farm sanctuary is home to many rescued, rehomed and special needs domestic and farm animals. We are located in the beautiful West Kootenays surrounded by mountains, rivers and lakes.

    We share the land with horses, goats, sheep, geese, ducks, chickens, two livestock guardian dogs and four rescued cats. The sanctuary provides ample opportunity to interact with farm animals as companions and is a great fit for those who are passionate animal lovers.

  • Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    We are very keen to learn about other countries and cultures. Having a farm sanctuary doesn't allow us to travel so we are keen to experience the world through our guests.

    We have skills and experience caring for animals and are learning about both medicinal and herbal gardening as well as fruit and vegetable gardening. Let's share our knowledge!

    We do live rural with access to public transit to Nelson and Castlegar about an 8 minute drive away. And two public beaches less than 10 minute drive.

    We live an hour from the beautiful Valhalla mountain ranges for those who like to hike and are under an hour to both Whitewater and Red Mountain ski resorts. The natural hot springs are two hours away (Halcyon, Nakusp, Ainsworth, and Halfway).

    We can provide two bikes for local exploration, and we are less than 2 minutes walk to Krestova regional Park for walking and hiking trails.

    We tend to stay home to care for animals, but many hands make for light work and would enjoy showing our guests to some local attractions on occasion.

  • Ajuda

    Ajuda

    We are looking for varied help pending the experience of our guests.

    At a minimum guests will be required to contribute to the feeding and care of the animal residents. The morning and evening routine will be completed by the guests and additional projects will be provided related to the animal residents, gardens and fruit trees or other tasks as outlined below.

    Digital nomads or social media are welcomed to join as well to help build our online presence.

    We are very flexible to work within your skills and interests. Outside of the routine of feeding, no two days are alike. We could require yard cleanup, pruning trees, wedding, planting, raking, manure or other tasks.

    Both my spouse and I work full-time Monday through Friday, however I work from home and am available before/after and during breaks.

    This position would suit those who enjoy working both independently and with others. Please let us know your preference. :)

  • Acomodação

    Acomodação

    We live in an older farmhouse that we are slowly repairing/painting etc. We keep aim to keep a clean space.

    We have two bedrooms to accommodate two guests or two couples. There are two shared bathrooms inside the home, and one bathroom/shower in the shop. Both rooms are set up with a desk and chair and a small TV for streaming. Internet/wifi calling is available in the home.

    We have ample space for camping for those who prefer to be under the stars. We have a great view of the stars at night!

    The front yard has a BBQ, patio chairs and lounger as well as a hot tub that can be used during specific hours.

    We will stock the fridge and freezer with food and will visit the local garden and markets. Guests will be responsible for preparing their own meals, however there is opportunity at least once a week to eat together. (This is mainly due to the workload of caring for animals - and can be revisited if time permits!) I (Aimee) will be providing the food and an vegetarian/plant based. If you wish to have an omnivore diet during your stay, that would be at your own expense.

  • Algo mais...

    Algo mais...

    We are an older farm house in various stages of repair. We have dogs and cats in the house (and the occasional sheep break in), however we aim to maintain a clean space.

    Dishes should be cleaned after use. Common areas are the responsibility of all guests.

    Outdoor shoes/clothes should be changed before retiring for the night. Indoor shoes/slippers are highly recommended.

    We do have a cleaner come 2-4 times/month for a deep clean of the kitchen, bathroom and common areas but expect a tidy space in between.

    Guests MUST shower before using hot tub.
