Experience life on our homestead where community, nature and family come together in Gagetown, Canada

  Descrição

  Nestled on 20 acres in a charming artisan village, just steps from a stunning lake, our eco-friendly homestead offers a unique escape into simple, sustainable living. Located only 15 minutes from town (and 35 minutes from the city), we’re close enough for convenience but far enough to enjoy peace, fresh air, and country charm.
  We are a non-profit, family-run farm with heritage pigs, goats, chickens, turkeys, and guinea fowl. Depending on the season, you may see us clearing land, milling our own wood, or building projects around the property — everything is done with our own hands and a lot of heart.
  Life on our farm is full of energy and warmth. We have a big family — 12 kids in total, with 3 still at home ranging from 3 to 12 years old — so you can expect a lively, welcoming atmosphere. Allan is a retired Canadian Forces veteran, and I am a registered nurse currently studying to become a nurse practitioner and volunteer firefighter.
  While we are close to a military base and you may occasionally hear training exercises, most guests quickly adjust and even find it adds character to the setting.
  Our dream is to one day offer cozy cottages for guests to rent and enjoy the land as much as we do. Until then, we’re excited to share our homestead, our animals, and our love for eco-friendly living with you.
  Come unplug, breathe deeply, and experience life on our homestead — where community, nature, and family all come together.

  Ajuda

  Life on our homestead is full of variety! Each day brings something a little different, but you’ll always be learning new skills and working with your hands. Some of the tasks Workawayers may help with include:
  🌱 Land work: clearing brush, planting, gardening, and helping us shape the land into more usable space.
  🪵 Building projects: assisting with milling our own wood, basic carpentry, fencing, and small construction projects around the property.
  🐐 Animal care: feeding and watering our heritage pigs, goats, chickens, turkeys, and guinea fowl; helping with cleaning coops/pens; and collecting eggs.
  🧹 Homestead upkeep: helping keep shared spaces tidy, small repairs, and creative projects to make the farm more welcoming.
  🌸 Family & community life: sharing meals, playing with our kids (ages 3–12), and experiencing the rhythm of a big, busy homestead family.
