  Descrição

  Welcome to our family’s regenerative and private homestead! We’re Dale and Chelsea, living with our daughter in the beautiful farming community of Armstrong, BC. Using holistic methods, we tend to a large vegetable garden, hay fields, a few sheep, ducks, milk cow, a horse–and a few friendly pets.
  
  We grow most of the produce and meat that we consume, and we eat well! Whatever we don't grow we try our best to support local growers in the area.
  
  Our favourite part of the property is our walipini-style greenhouse, where we grow year-round (even in freezing winters!). We grow citrus, pomegranate, figs, guava, passionfruit, papaya and many other fruits and veggies not commonly grown in the area.
  
  A bit about our area: Armstrong is a charming small town full of small businesses, cafes and shops, and close to picturesque lakes and mountains, hikes, camping, boating, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and plenty of other activities for nature lovers! The Okanagan region is famous for its vineyards, fruit farms and gorgeous lakes. Both Okanagan Lake and Shuswap Lake are within a half our drive of us.
  
  
  This is mainly a volunteer position, 20-25hrs a week in exchange for food and lodging. If you have a Canadian work Visa, we do on occasion have some paid work available through a business we run.
  
  Send us a message, we’d love to welcome you to our little piece of paradise.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We love getting to know people over shared meals. Our small town is a very vibrant
  community with plenty of local and nearby markets, festivals, fairs, and community events to meet people. Nature is a huge part of the small-town Canadian experience, and we are close to lots of lakes, rivers, hiking and biking trails! Our region of the Okanagan also has wineries, cideries, and plenty of fruit farms to explore.
  
  With Dale’s horticulture career and Chelsea’s hobby farm experience, we can offer many learning opportunities in holistic gardening. We love to learn, too, so if you have expertise in permaculture, biodynamic gardening, regenerative farming, or anything else, we’d love to share ideas!
